Help Create One of Dash4Diabetes' Most Meaningful Experiences
The Health & Wellness Village is at the heart of Dash4Diabetes, bringing together healthcare providers, nonprofit organizations, public health agencies, and community businesses to educate, inspire, and empower healthier living.
Held on World Diabetes Day during National Diabetes Month, Dash4Diabetes is more than a race—it's a community-wide celebration of health and wellness. Through free health screenings, diabetes prevention resources, nutrition education, fitness demonstrations, and community outreach, our Health & Wellness Community Partners help participants take meaningful steps toward healthier lives.
We're Looking For
We welcome organizations whose mission, products, or services complement the Dash4Diabetes experience, including:
- 🩺 Health screenings and preventive care
- ❤️ Diabetes prevention and education
- 🥗 Nutrition and healthy lifestyle resources
- 🏃 Fitness, walking, and running organizations
- 👟 Running, walking, and wellness retailers
- 🤝 Community-based organizations, nonprofits, and public health agencies
Our goal is to create a vibrant, engaging Health & Wellness Village that encourages participants and their families to learn, connect, and discover resources that support healthier living long after race day.
Our Selection Process
There is no cost to participate as a Health & Wellness Community Partner.
Because space is limited, all applications are reviewed to ensure each organization contributes to a high-quality, health-focused experience and aligns with Smart Health Initiatives' mission to Unite Communities to Outrun Diabetes.
Preference is given to organizations that provide health screenings, wellness resources, diabetes education, healthy lifestyle products or services, or other offerings that enhance the participant experience. General retail vendors whose products are unrelated to health and wellness are typically not selected.
