The story

Diabetes Awareness Marathon in Tlokweng

NON EVENT: Diabetes Awareness Marathon is a health-cause fun run held in Tlokweng to raise visibility around diabetes prevention and management rather than a large produced sporting spectacle. Despite the word marathon in its name, it functions as a community awareness and fundraising run, likely covering a shorter distance than the standard 42km marathon.

NON EVENT: Diabetes Awareness Marathon uses the language of distance running to draw attention to a public health cause, pairing a community road run in Tlokweng with messaging about diabetes prevention, screening and management rather than staging a full-length competitive marathon.
