Motion is Lotion 2026
Augusta University’s Doctor of Physical Therapy Program stages the second annual Motion is Lotion event in North Augusta, SC, to coincide with National Physical Therapy Month. The event highlights movement and the role of physical therapists in supporting mobility, rehabilitation, and community health. Proceeds support the Augusta University Student Physical Therapist Association (SPTA).
The event uses an out-and-back route on the Greenway that runs from Riverview Park to SRP Park and back, totaling about 3.12 miles. The course is open to the public; participants should expect shared use with pedestrians and cyclists and follow respectful passing and yielding practices. Parking is at Riverview Park near the baseball fields; attendees will be directed to the Greenway. Fruit and water will be available after the event.
There are multiple participation options:
- 5K run
- 5K walk
- Kids 1 mile run
- Virtual 5K
Event details from organizers: the 5K run and 5K walk include a t-shirt; runners receive chip times via bibs while walk participants must record their finish time when crossing the line. The kids 1 mile does not include a t-shirt but includes a goodie bag and a medal. The virtual 5K includes a t-shirt when participants email proof of a logged 5K. Awards are given to top finishers and include medals and gift certificates. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
