Come enjoy the region's most scenic road race and enjoyable post-race parties! The Speedy Pd Race for Parkinson's disease is the primary event to benefit the Meadowlark Parkinson's Program. The Meadowlark Parkinson's Program provides free services for those in the Flint Hills and beyond! Programming includes exercise, education, and outreach to improve the quality of life for all those affected by Parkinson’s disease including patients, caregivers, therapists, and nurses.
This is the 16th year for the Speedy Pd Race for Parkinson's and we are excited to be running the USATF Certified 5k (3.1 miles) and 10k (6.2 miles) courses set in the beautiful Tuttle Creek State Park in Manhattan, Kansas. The Don Rasmussen 5K and 10K will start at 8 am. This year we are revamping our 1/2-mile event a little to honor all those we have lost to Parkinson's. This event is now the Pd Memorial Walk/Run.
The **Speedy Pd Don Rasmussen 5K/10K & Pd Memorial Walk/Run - 16th annual VIRTUAL 10K** is a unique event taking place on **August 24, 2024**, in Manhattan, KS. While typically a physical race, this year's 10K component is presented as a **virtual event**, allowing participants to complete it from any location. The "Speedy Pd" and "Pd Memorial" aspects suggest a strong connection to a cause or memorial, honoring "Pd" and possibly raising awareness or funds for related initiatives. Participants in the virtual 10K can expect the flexibility to run or walk the distance at their convenience on or around the event date, submitting their results digitally. Given the virtual nature of the 10K this year, terrain and specific course conditions in Manhattan, KS, are not a primary factor for most participants. However, the event's history and its "5K/10K & Memorial Walk/Run" designation indicate a past that likely involved a community-focused run/walk on local routes. The "16th annual" title signifies a long-standing tradition, suggesting a well-established and supported event within its community. While the virtual format offers personal choice in location and time, the core of the Speedy Pd event remains its charitable or commemorative purpose, encouraging participation in a healthy activity for a meaningful cause.
