Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run
June 16, 2024
Join us for the Juneteenth 5K CommUnity Walk/Run presented by TampaWell, a unique event in Tampa that aims to celebrate freedom, promote community health, and take strides against Type 2 Diabetes. The event commemorates the historical significance of Juneteenth Day while highlighting the critical issue of diabetes prevention.
This event happens to fall on Father's Day, providing an excellent opportunity for fathers and their children to bond in a meaningful way. Families can participate as a team, experiencing the joy of achievement and the spirit of community togetherness. Encouraging team creation, whether with family or friends, enhances the fun of the day and fosters a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose among all participants.
The event is free to the public. It goes beyond just a simple run, serving as a vital fundraiser for Sensible Health Initiatives (SHI). SHI's mission is to "Unite Communities to Outrun Diabetes." The event brings together community organizations, healthcare providers, and supporters for a family-friendly celebration packed with fun, nutritious food, and engaging activities for all ages.
Whether you're running, walking, or cheering, your participation in the Juneteenth 5K Unity Walk/Run supports SHI's mission to raise awareness and funds crucial for diabetes prevention and health education in our community. The event offers something special for everyone, whether you're a seasoned runner, casual walker, a family looking for a meaningful way to spend the day together, or someone passionate about health and history.
All are welcome to be part of this momentous day.
