Diabetes Walkathon Set For Oct. 5

The annual Walktoberfest fund-raiser for the American Diabetes Association will be held on the Centennial Trail Oct. 5.

Walkers gather pledges from supporters for each mile, with the goal of walking 6.2 miles along the trail. The money raised from the event will be used for diabetes advocacy, research and education.
