Polk State College’s Occupational Therapy Assistant and Physical Therapist Assistant programs will host the inaugural Warriors for Wellness 5K on Saturday, April 6, 2024, on the Winter Haven Campus.
Check-in will take place from 7 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. with a 9 a.m. start time for the race.
Registration is open and available online through the Polk State College Foundation: secure.qgiv.com/for/warriorsforwellness5k.
The 5K aims to promote community wellness and raise awareness about Polk State’s Occupational Therapy Assistant (OTA) and Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) programs. The event will also serve as a fundraiser for the programs, with a portion of the proceeds going toward the development of a community wellness program for local families in need.
Polk State’s highly reputable OTA and PTA programs enjoy strong records of success, with graduates of the OTA Program boasting a 95% pass rate and graduates of the PTA Program achieving a 100% pass rate on their licensure exams, exceeding national and state averages.
Participants can register for $35 and will receive a T-shirt, medal, and race bib.
