Step Up to 5k

🏃‍♂️ Join Us for the Step Up to 5K

Step Up to 5K is an inclusive, fun-filled 5K run/walk/roll hosted by Bremer Prosthetics. We bring together individuals of all abilities—whether seasoned runners, people with prosthetics, families, or first-time participants—for a supportive and uplifting community experience.

🌟 Our Mission

Our mission is to inspire confidence, celebrate movement, and promote access to mobility for all. We want to bring awareness and advocacy for prosthetics and orthotics access, promoting the idea that movement is medicine and physical activity is a right.

• Proceeds: Support So Every Body Can Move, a national initiative advocating for fair insurance coverage of prosthetic and orthotic care.
• Belief: Mobility is a human right.
• Event Goal: Take steps toward making mobility a reality for everyone.

💰 Discounted Registration

We are proud to offer discounted registration for amputees and individuals with limb differences who are on a journey toward a more active lifestyle. This initiative is made possible through the generous support of Bremer Prosthetics, whose sponsorship allows us to direct more funds to So Every Body Can Move.
