Stepping Forward: World PT Day 5K for Stroke Awareness
Stepping Forward is a community 5K run and walk held on 09/08/2026 in Charlestown, Massachusetts, at 2 Constitution Wharf. The event is presented in partnership with Tedy’s Team and the MGH PT Club and takes place in the Charlestown Navy Yard along the waterfront.
The course is an accessible, flat route that accommodates running, walking, or rolling. Educational BE FAST signage is placed along the course to highlight signs of stroke and raise awareness of cardiovascular health. The organizer describes the route as waterfront, passing through the Charlestown Navy Yard and offering visibility to the surrounding area.
The event aims to honor stroke survivors, recognize the role of physical therapy in recovery, and bring attention to stroke prevention and rehabilitation. Registration is free. A post race gathering will be held at The Anchor to bring participants together after the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
