Motion is Lotion 2026
Motion is Lotion is a community running and walking event organized by Augusta University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy program in observance of National Physical Therapy Month. The event supports the Augusta University Student Physical Therapist Association and a pro-bono clinic at Christ Community.
The event program includes the following distances:
- 5K run
- 5K walk
- Kids 1 mile run
- Virtual 5K
The course is an out and back route beginning near Riverview Park, running to SRP Park and returning, totaling about 3.12 miles for the 5K. Parking is available at Riverview Park near the baseball fields and attendees will be directed to the Greenway. The course is open to the public, so participants should expect other users such as pedestrians and bicyclists and use respectful passing.
Entry fees and registration periods are set for the listed events. Race services include fruit and bottled water for participants after the event. Award recognition is planned: the top three male and top three female finishers will receive a medal and a gift card to Southbound. Kids in the one mile run receive a medal and a goodie bag; parents who run with children must register as participants. Virtual participants receive a shirt upon submission of proof of a completed 5K during the event weekend. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
