In honor of Global Running Day on June 2, Team JDRF is hosting an event for our community and inviting others to join us to help make an impact for those living with type 1 diabetes (T1D). With T1D there are no days off. 365 days of the year T1D’s and their family members are focused on staying healthy while living with T1D.

From June 2-6 teams and individuals will be challenged to be active and take no days off by getting in as many miles as they can each day. In addition to staying active and healthy, part of the goal with this event is to show how those living with T1D have no days off throughout the year, further enhancing the need for us to help them on their journey to provide support to them and their families. This is a perfect opportunity for individuals to continue to remain active and healthy while connecting with others remotely or from a safe social distance.

Ladies of the Evening is a group of Omaha Running Club women who share a common interest in running and walking.  During their monthly gatherings of 15-30 women, they share running tips, set training goals, review regimens and build friendships.

The group meets on the first Wednesday of every month at 6 p.m. at a designated member’s home where they walk or run for 30-40 minutes, then meet back at the house to share a potluck dinner.
