About

The 9th Annual Run for the Ring will be in-person!

The 9th Annual Run for the Ring 5K Run/Walk and Kid’s Fun Run will bring together Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes patients, loyal supporters, and running enthusiasts to run for the brass ring – the cure. All proceeds from this event will support the efforts and programs of The Guild of the Children’s Diabetes Foundation whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of Barbara Davis Center patients living with type one diabetes and their families through education, support, advocacy, and research.

Run for the Ring will feature a pre-race warm-up, kids interactive activities and games, Kids Zone DJ, foam party at the finish line, and more.

5K & Fun Run Registration includes breakfast bites, timing chip (5K only), race bib, awards ceremony, and Run for the Ring performance t-shirt. Sleep-In Registration includes Run for the Ring performance t-shirt, which will be mailed to the registrant. Must register before July 15, 2023 to guarantee t-shirt.

Those with type 1 diabetes will have the option of receiving a special t-shirt! Please indicate whether or not you would like your special shirt (“I’m the 1”) at registration.

Every participant can decorate a back bib that says RUNNING FOR MY “1” to honor their type 1 loved one.

Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Please bring another adult to watch your children while you are running.
