A Run for Diabetes 5K walk/run
The event takes place on October 17, 2026 in Shreveport, Louisiana at 1002 W Bert Kouns Industrial Loop. It is organized as a combined walk and run over a 5K (3.1 miles) course.
The event was created in response to the organizer's experience with a family member who died in August 2024 from diabetic complications. The organizer describes ongoing difficulties in affording diabetes medication even with insurance and notes that many people face out-of-pocket costs for needed medicines. The event aims to highlight the financial and personal challenges of living with diabetes and to offer a community-centered activity tied to that concern.
This is the organizer's first 5K run/walk. Registration is open from May 3, 2026 through October 9, 2026. There is no registration fee.
Details provided focus on the event format, location, date, purpose related to diabetes awareness and the registration period and fee. No specific start or finish times are provided in the available information. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
