A run/ walk for diabetes 5k.

The Run/Walk for Diabetes 5K is a community 5K in Shreveport, Louisiana. The course starts and finishes at 1002 Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, beginning at 9:00 a.m. CDT. Designed for runners and walkers, the event has a $25 entry fee and a three-hour window. Gabriel, the organizer, established the race after observing his mother's experience with diabetes and her difficulties affording medication despite having insurance. The event prioritizes community support for those affected by diabetes over course speed, aiming to provide encouragement and promote collective physical activity.
