Register for the 19th Annual FDA Classic 5K fun run/2.5-mile health walk, and roll! This event will be held in-person on Friday, October 17, 2025, at 11:00 A.M., EDT on the White Oak campus. All remote FDA employees, outside of the local commuting area, are also encouraged to participate virtually by enjoying a health walk, roll or run in their community.

Runners: The 5K will be a timed event this year. A registration fee of $10 will apply, and each participant will receive an official runner’s bib.

Walkers/Rollers: There is no registration fee for the 2.5-mile health walk & roll, but registration is still required.

Virtual Participants: Remote FDA employees outside of the local commuting area are encouraged to celebrate by walking, rolling, or running in their own communities.

For those who can join the event in person, we invite you to come to the White Oak campus to participate in the Classic as well as Spirit Day, where additional activities and food will be available. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase on site. Show your FDA spirit by wearing a vintage FDA White Oak Classic T-shirt from past years, playing games on the White Oak Campus Quad (between Buildings 32 & 22), and connecting with colleagues. In observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, participants are encouraged to wear pink on event day.

The FDA Classic and FDA Spirit Day events are sponsored by the Office of Operations, FOH White Oak Fitness Center and the FDA Alumni Association. Please direct all questions and concerns to COO-IO@fda.hhs.gov.
