Every Step Moves Us Closer to a Future Without Type 2 Diabetes

Dash4Diabetes is more than a race—it's a community movement inspiring people of all ages and fitness levels to take action against one of the most preventable chronic diseases affecting our families today.

Held during National Diabetes Month and on World Diabetes Day, Dash4Diabetes brings our community together to raise awareness, encourage healthier lifestyles, and expand access to diabetes prevention, education, and early detection resources.

Whether you're chasing a personal record, walking your first 5K, enjoying the Community Fun Walk & Run, or simply looking for a fun and meaningful way to spend the morning with family and friends, there's a place for you at Dash4Diabetes.

For the first time, participants can choose the race experience that best fits their goals.

Whether you're joining us for your first community walk, challenging yourself in the 10K, or enjoying the ultimate race-day hospitality in Sprinter's Village, there's a registration option designed just for you.

Dash4Diabetes is about movement, inclusion, and taking steps toward better health. Whether you complete every mile or simply enjoy being part of the experience, you'll be joining hundreds of others committed to building healthier communities.
