Motion is Lotion 2025

Join Augusta University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program for the inaugural 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).
