The Blue Devils Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) 5K will be a virtual event this year on October 31. The funds raised will go towards the VCU-Marquette 2020-2021Challenge. All interprofessional colleagues, family, and friends are welcomed to participate.

The VCU-Marquette Challenge is a grassroots organization that raises money for physical therapy student scholarships, fellowships, and grants for research. DPT programs around the country are raising money for the cause and enjoying a little fun competition on the side. 

The entry fee is $10, and a $15 dollar T-shirt can be additionally purchased. Please note: to reduce prices, the T-shirts will be available for pick up at the IPE Building. More information will be shared about it closer to the date. Feel free to pick them up for family and friends who are not local! T-Shirts need to ordered by October 9.

Sign up as a single runner or additionally with a team. Teams will consist of five members, and the top lowest cumulative time wins! The top three women, top three men, and top three teams will be awarded prizes.

Feel free to run any 5K course at your convenience. Please take photos and videos, and send them to us! Costumes are encouraged in light of the spooky season; the best costume will get a shout out!
