Tulip Trot 5K and Community Fitness – Muncie, Indiana

Welcome to the YMCA of Muncie's Tulip Trot 5K, an inspiring community race dedicated to supporting the Rock Steady Boxing program for individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease. Located in the heart of Muncie, Indiana, the YMCA is proud to host this all-ages event, designed to unite members, families, and the broader community for a meaningful cause. Our event takes runners and walkers through some of the area's most iconic and scenic locations—including Minnetrista and Ball State University—while sharing moments of togetherness, support, and hope.

More than just a race, the Tulip Trot 5K is a powerful day of awareness and action in the fight against Parkinson’s Disease. Participants have the unique opportunity to contribute directly to the Rock Steady Boxing program, a powerful, non-contact, boxing-based fitness initiative proven to help improve quality of life and slow disease progression for those affected. Whether you’re joining the main 5K event or enrolling your kids in the Fun Run, your involvement matters. Your support helps provide life-changing resources, reduces hospitalizations, and fosters a sense of empowerment and belonging for our local Parkinson’s community.

From quality youth programs to ground-breaking health initiatives, our team is committed to supporting every individual’s unique journey. Discover the joy of giving back while achieving your personal fitness goals, and experience the difference that community, compassion, and determination can make in people’s lives.
