Join us for the 1st Annual Heroes Ride for Parkinson’s Fun Run in Johnson Valley, an off-road adventure benefiting our nonprofit mission to support those affected by Parkinson’s disease. This family-friendly fun run is a non-competitive, guided off-road experience designed for riders and drivers of all skill levels to come together for a great cause.
Participants will enjoy a scenic and exciting route through the iconic terrain of Johnson Valley, featuring open desert, rolling hills, and designated trails. The event emphasizes safe, responsible off-road recreation, camaraderie, and honoring the heroes who inspire us every day. Trail leaders and volunteers will be present to guide groups and ensure a positive experience for everyone.
Hosted by Fighting Parkinson’s Disease for Heroes—as represented by our official nonprofit logo—this event is about more than the ride. It’s about raising awareness, building community, and fighting Parkinson’s disease for heroes. Whether you’re behind the wheel, on a bike, or supporting from camp, your participation helps drive our mission forward.
