KFD Step Up to T1D Challenge 2026

The KFD Step Up to T1D Challenge is a virtual 5K, completable from any location on World Diabetes Day. The Kopp Foundation for Diabetes organizes this event, focusing on Type 1 diabetes awareness with young advocates and allies spearheading the effort. Participants select their own 5K route or activity, as there is no set course. Individuals can participate alone or as part of a team. The event aids KFD’s initiatives to empower youth, broaden diabetes education, and assist those impacted by T1D in converting awareness into tangible action.
