Each year, we come together as a global community to raise diabetes awareness and to raise public awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle in preventing and controlling diabetes. 2023 was a special edition of the 5K@ADA as we celebrated the 100th anniversary of Novo Nordisk and 100 years of driving change for better health since 1923.
Thank you to everyone who has submitted photos, uploaded results, and shared your #5KADA moments on social media. We could not have done it without YOU! Together we are #DrivingChange in diabetes.
In 2023, the 5K@ADA Virtual Challenge had 15,700+ registered participants from 155 countries and 4,500+ finishers from 118 countries.
