There will also be company presentations and information stands on site that offer valuable insights.

The autumn run: something for everyone

The autumn run starts at 3:00 p.m. at the canoe boathouse at Weißen Wehr 1. Here, participants have the opportunity to try their hand at two distances: either 5 kilometers or 800 meters. No matter whether you want to run, walk or take a leisurely stroll, being there is everything! Anyone can take part, even with a walker, wheelchair or stroller. Part of the event is that points are awarded and the awards ceremony rounds everything off at around 4:30 p.m. Various categories such as “school/after-school care center”, “daycare center” and “best group” ensure a lively competition.

Important information about diabetes prevention

As the German Diabetes Society According to reports, almost 9 million people in Germany are affected by diabetes. In addition, around 1,000 new cases are diagnosed every day. The events place a particular focus on the prevention and effective treatment of diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, which affects over 95 percent of patients. Risk factors such as obesity and lack of exercise are often at the forefront, and Diabetes Day represents an excellent opportunity to raise awareness.
