Ryan's Firepower 5K
Race Information
Lace-up your running shoes for a 5k race hosted by Benchmark Physical Therapy in honor and memory of Ryan Cook, PTA. Benchmark Physical Therapy strives to deliver exceptional care to all patients – a goal that Ryan exceeded daily. Ryan’s patients and co-workers remember him by his smile and willingness to help all of those that came into the clinic. A scholarship fund has been established in Ryan’s memory to support aspiring Physical Therapist Assistants through their schooling and training. All donations and sponsorship purchases will go directly to Lanier Tech in honor of Ryan. The 5K course will be pretty flat & fast in beautiful Rock Creek Park. This is a super spectator-friendly course.
