Dash4Diabetes: A Community Movement for Healthier Living Saturday, November 14, 2026 8 AM - Noon, Race Start at 9:15 AM Lonnie C. Miller Regional Park, Jacksonville, FL Every year on World Diabetes Day during National Diabetes Month, Dash4Diabetes brings the community together to raise awareness and promote healthier lifestyles in Northeast Florida. This event is more than just a race; it's an inclusive celebration of movement and wellness that welcomes participants from all ages and fitness levels. The centerpiece of Dash4Diabetes features two professionally timed races: a 5K run/walk for those looking to challenge themselves, and a longer distance option with the Double Dash Challenge 10K. Both events offer opportunities for personal achievement while fostering community spirit. For first-time walkers or casual participants, there’s also the Community Fun Walk & Run, which is free of charge. Dash4Diabetes takes place at Lonnie C. Miller Regional Park, a scenic location that offers beautiful views and paths suitable for all types of runners and walkers. The park's natural beauty complements the event’s mission to promote healthier living through physical activity and community engagement. Beyond the races, Dash4Diabetes hosts the Health & Wellness Village, where attendees can explore various booths from local organizations offering health screenings, wellness resources, educational exhibits focused on preventing Type 2 diabetes, and more. This village is a hub of information and support for anyone interested in improving their lifestyle or learning about diabetes prevention. Participants and spectators alike are invited to enjoy music, family-friendly activities, healthy food options, and the Sprinter's Village Premier Experience, which provides premium hospitality services including race-day amenities and exclusive access to event facilities. The day is filled with opportunities to connect with others who share a common goal of building healthier communities through movement. Registration for Dash4Diabetes supports Smart Health Initiatives' mission to "Unite Communities to Outrun Diabetes" by expanding diabetes prevention, education, youth wellness programs, and community outreach initiatives throughout the region. By participating in events like Healthy Soles Step Challenge or Fit Futures, individuals can contribute directly to these vital health improvement efforts. Dash4Diabetes is designed for everyone—from those taking their first steps towards a healthier lifestyle to seasoned athletes chasing personal records—making it an inclusive event that celebrates diversity and encourages community involvement. Whether you're part of the race day festivities or engaging with local resources during Health & Wellness Village, every step taken at Dash4Diabetes moves us closer to a future without Type 2 diabetes. Join us on November 14th for a morning dedicated to health, wellness, and community unity. Together, let's make strides towards better living through the power of collective action.
