Event Description

The 2025 Unified 5k and AdaptXpo is an inclusive road race and adaptive sports expo that fosters community, connection, and competition. The event emphasizes building inclusive communities, creating opportunities, and making fitness and physical activity accessible for people with intellectual and physical disabilities.

Join us on May 17th at Liberty Park for our inaugural Unified 5k in Salt Lake City. Participants have the opportunity to run, walk, roll, or row either the 5k (3.1 mile) or 1 Mile course. Arrive early or hang around after the event to check out our vendors and clinics at the AdaptXpo, a celebration of organizations that focus on health, inclusion, accessibility, assistive technology, and adaptive sports. 

Our organization, AdaptX addresses barriers to better health and fitness for people with intellectual and physical disabilities through education, research, advocacy, and scholarship. We are a leading provider in adaptive fitness education and operate The Rick Hoyt Research Lab, which conducts impactful studies that improve fitness and reduce secondary health conditions for individuals with intellectual and physical disabilities.

These events support AdaptX initiatives, specifically our Scholarship and Ambassador Fund, which addresses socioeconomic barriers to participation so that we can make fitness and physical activity accessible for every body.
