Parkinson's Beat It 5K takes place May 9, 2026, in Wilmington, North Carolina at 2030 Stonecrop Drive. Despite its name, the event offers a 1-mile run rather than the full 5K distance. The race starts at 8:00 AM, making it an early morning commitment typical of local running events. Entry fees range from $30 to $45. This is a smaller, community-focused event, so expect a low-key atmosphere suited to runners looking for a casual local race supporting a meaningful cause. The 1-mile distance makes it accessible to runners of various ability levels, from those building endurance to experienced athletes using it as a warm-up or recovery effort during their training season.
