Motion is Lotion 2026

Augusta University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program organizes a community event that highlights movement and physical therapy during National Physical Therapy Month. The event includes in-person and virtual options and supports the Augusta Universities Student Physical Therapist Association.

The in-person course starts at Riverview Park in North Augusta (100 Riverview Drive) and follows an out-and-back route to SRP Park, totaling about 3.12 miles. The greenway is an open course with other public users; participants should yield to bicyclists and use respectful passing maneuvers. Parking is available at Riverview Park near the baseball fields and attendees will be directed to the greenway.

Event features and awards:

  • Walkers are responsible for recording their own finish time when crossing the line; runners receive timed results via bib.
  • Top finishers receive medals and gift certificates; top three overall, top three men, and top three women earn medals.
  • The overall top finisher receives a $50 Frog Hollow gift card plus additional retailer gift certificates.
  • Fruit and water will be available to participants after the in-person event.

Registration fees vary by event. T-shirt and goodie bag details differ by entry type; the virtual 5K requires proof of a logged 5K to receive a shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
