Strides for Diabetes Awareness 5K

Strides for Diabetes Awareness is a run/walk on Zionsville streets, with 3K, 5K, and 10K options beginning in the morning. The Zionsville Lions Club sponsors the event, aiming to encourage physical activity and raise awareness about Type 2 diabetes. The course utilizes local streets, not a trail or closed-loop park route. The race's message is direct: approximately 1 in 10 Americans have Type 2 diabetes, with many unaware of their condition. The event connects this health warning to action, presenting exercise, healthy eating, and tobacco avoidance as methods to help prevent or delay diabetes.
