About the Event

Join us for Team APMA Annual's 5K Fun Run at the APMA Annual Scientific Meeting (The National). Set against the scenic backdrop of the Gaylord Opryland Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee, this event unites participants of all ages and fitness levels in support the APMA Educational Foundation's mission of supporting podiatric medical students. Whether you're a seasoned runner or a first-time walker, this event offers a fun and meaningful way to get active and contribute to a meaningful cause.

Thanks to the generosity of APMA members and friends, the foundation awards more than 200 scholarships annually to podiatric medical students, advancing the growth and stability of podiatric medicine. Proceeds from your registration will support student financial aid through the foundation. Scholarships are awarded to eligible third-, and fourth-year podiatric medical students at the accredited colleges of podiatric medicine.

Since its inception, more than 1,900 runners and walkers have participated in the APMA 5K Run/Walk raising more than $200,000. Show your support as we celebrate this milestone!

About Nashville

Learn more about the host city, Nashville.

Nashville is the capital of the American state of Tennessee. With 716,000 residents in 2022, it is the state's largest city. Nashville is sometimes called the "Country Music Capital of the World" or more often "Music City, USA"; however, Nashville has done much to escape its country music image and become a regional center of culture and commerce. In fact, Dell, Nissan, and Amazon have all moved some operations to or near the city. The music is various; major rap artists and rock bands claim Nashville as their hometown, and the city is also the epicenter of the contemporary Christian music industry. Nashville has been the home of the world-famous Grand Ole Opry since 1925. Nashville also has a great bar scene. If you like to drink, you can go "Honky-tonking," also known as bar-hopping. This is the act of visiting and drinking at multiple bars in one evening or day.
