Michael J. Fox Foundation Run

The Michael J. Fox Foundation Run offers an inspiring opportunity to hit the pavement for a powerful cause on Sunday, March 1, 2026, at the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. This family-friendly event welcomes runners and walkers of all abilities to participate in a 5K, 1 Mile, or Kids Fun Run, all while contributing directly to vital Parkinson's research. With typical race day conditions in early March seeing comfortable highs around 70F and lows around 51F, and only an 8% chance of precipitation, participants can expect pleasant weather for their efforts.

The course around the legendary Rose Bowl Stadium provides a memorable and generally flat setting for your run or walk, allowing you to focus on the spirit of the event and the scenic surroundings. As part of The Michael J. Fox Foundation's nationwide Run/Walk Series, which began in 2017, this event has a strong history of uniting communities and raising significant funds—over $10.1 million and engaging more than 33,800 participants to date. Every registered participant receives a race bib and a finisher medal, with those raising $100 or more before event day earning a commemorative Run/Walk t-shirt.

What truly makes this race special is its unwavering mission: 100 percent of the proceeds directly fund The Michael J. Fox Foundation's high-impact research programs, accelerating the development of improved treatments and a cure for Parkinson's disease. Joining the Michael J. Fox Foundation Run means becoming part of a passionate community dedicated to making a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by Parkinson's, offering a day filled with activity, community, and hope.
