UNC Therapy Services presents the 4th Annual UNC Running Symposium to be held on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
Healthcare professionals with an interest in working with running athletes are invited to the Research Triangle in NC to participate in a day long program specifically designed for practitioners who want to further develop skills in working with this population. The day of learning will include presentations on diagnosis, treatment, research, education, and prevention of athletic injuries presented by experts from many different areas of Running Medicine. The format will be a series of lectures with ample time for Q&A and break times for networking with the presenters and colleagues.
This year there will be a collection of speakers and topics drawn from the requests of past attendees as we continue to bring quality topics by expert presenters to those who serve the running community.
