NOVEMBER IS NATIONAL DIABETES MONTH

Two Cities. One Mission.

Outrun Diabetes.

Jacksonville and Tampa are moving together to

raise awareness, inspire healthier choices, and help

prevent type 2 diabetes—one step at a time





EXPLORE DASH4DIABETES WALK/RUN

SMART HEALTH INITIATIVES PRESENTS

More Than a Race. A Movement for Health.

For too many families, type 2 diabetes is personal. Dash4Diabetes turns awareness into action by bringing communities together around one of the most powerful tools for prevention: movement.



Across Jacksonville and Tampa, runners, walkers, families, healthcare partners, and community organizations will move side by side, connect with trusted health resources, and take meaningful steps toward healthier lives.


You don’t have to be a runner. You simply have to be ready to move.

TWO CITIES. ONE MOVEMENT.
