The Classic Fun Run Presented By American Diabetes Association® (ADA)

🏃‍♂️ The Classic Fun Run

Join us for the inaugural Classic Fun Run, presented by the American Diabetes Association® (ADA), in association with Amazon Magic City Classic!

👟 Event Details

This two-mile walk/run welcomes all ages and activity levels. Whether you’re a runner, walker, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps raise awareness about diabetes and obesity.

Obesity accounts for up to 53% of new type 2 diabetes cases each year. That’s why the Obesity Association™, a division of the ADA, is dedicated to reducing the prevalence of obesity and improving health outcomes. This event helps remind us that even small steps—like raising awareness together—can drive meaningful change.
