FDA Classic

Join us at the White Oak campus for the 19th Annual FDA Classic on Friday, October 17, 2025. Opening remarks will begin 10:30am at the building 1 circle, with the White Oak Classic beginning promptly at 11:00am.  Registration opens today, and will remail open until Thursday, October 16, 2025.

Runners: The 5K will be a timed event this year. A registration fee (amount TBD) 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 attending in person, the Classic will be part of FDA Spirit Day, which will feature additional activities and food on campus. 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. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase.

The FDA Classic and FDA Spirit Day are sponsored by the Office of Operations Offices and the FDA Alumni Association. Please direct all questions and concerns to COO-IO@fda.hhs.gov.
