The race through the center of the Valladolid capital also served to diagnose the disease.
The march began at 11 am from the Central Paseo del Campo Grande, and toured over 6 kilometers the streets Santiago, Plaza Mayor, Duke of Victoria, Miguel Istar, Paseo de Filipinos and Plaza Zorrilla.
As explained by the president of the Diabetes Valladolid Association, María Ángeles Aguado, "this year the participation has been bent with respect to the assistance registered in 2015. This has been due, perhaps, to a greater awareness of society to perform physical exercise.That we are looking for with this career is to raise awareness among administrations to try to fight this disease and their prevention.
Aguado also complained about the low amount of the subsidies they receive from the administrations, and "without money we cannot do anything."
During the activity, supported by the City of Valladolid, the Diputación and collaborating companies, diagnostic tests were carried out in several tents to detect diabetes.Through a puncture, the participant of the average blood glucose level was informed.At the end of the race, a bag with gifts provided by commercial brands was delivered on the recoleum sidewalk.
