About the Event

Join Augusta University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program for the 2nd annual Motion is Lotion 5K!

In celebration of National Physical Therapy Month, this event highlights the power of movement and the essential role physical therapists play in helping individuals live active, healthy lives.

As future movement specialists, our DPT students are passionate about empowering others through education, rehabilitation, and community engagement. This race is an opportunity to bring people of all ages and abilities together in support of wellness, mobility, and the PT profession.

Whether you’re a seasoned runner, weekend walker, or just looking to support a great cause, we invite you to lace up and move with us! All proceeds and support will go toward promoting physical activity and supporting student-led outreach initiatives.

Come run, walk, or cheer — and help us celebrate movement as medicine!

All proceeds with go to the Augusta Universities Student Physical Therapist Association (SPTA).

This will be an out and back course equaling out to 3.12 miles. Awards will be at 10:00am. There will be fruit and waters available to runners after the race. This is an OPEN COURSE, meaning that the public will be running alongside us. Please use respectful passing maneuvers when trying to pass pedestrians on the Greenway and please yield to bikers. Thank you!
