On November 10, the second version of the 10K pedestrian race called "Together by diabetes" will be carried out, which is sponsored by the center living with diabetes.
The purpose of the race is to make an awareness of the population about this disease that attacks silently.
"One of the pillars in diabetes prevention is physical activity and in the sense of prevention we are with physical activity and good diet, so that people do not have over weight and thus avoid the disease," said Elizabeth Duarte, director of living with diabetes.
This year the organizers hope to match or overcome the number of registrations they had in the first version, which was two thousand runners, especially considering that in this version economic awards will be awarded to the winners.
César Condori, director of the Franzco Club, co -organizer of the race, said that the winners, both in men, and in Ladies, will receive two thousand Bolivians as a prize in the free category;While the first in the student category will receive a thousand Bolivians, in addition to bicycles, cell phones, medals, trophies, sports material and other incentives.

The summoned categories are older, Seniors A and B, Student and Military and Police.
Registration will be received in the center living with Diabetes, Departmental Association of Athletics in Capriles and the Franzco Club.
