NYU DPT 5K Run/Walk
The NYU DPT 5K Run/Walk is an athletic event held at Pier 45 on Christopher Street in New York. Participants have the choice to attend the event in person or take part in a virtual version. The race is held rain or shine and follows a course through the city's waterfront area.
Available distances and formats include:
- 5 km Run/Walk (In-Person)
- 5 km Run/Walk (Virtual)
Participants who register at least three weeks before the event receive a personalized bib with their name. Amenities provided for the race include swag bags for all participants, live results delivered via text or email, and free finish line photographs. In-person bib pickup begins at the venue one hour before the race starts.
The event serves as a fundraiser for the Foundation for Physical Therapy Research. This non-profit organization focuses on funding physical therapy research through various grants, scholarships, and fellowships. Participants have the option to form teams with friends or family during the registration process. Awards are presented to the top three male and female overall finishers.
Virtual participants can complete their distance at any location between March 28 and April 5. They can track their progress using various methods such as treadmills, tracks, or GPS applications, and then upload their times and photos to a central results page.
