The Get Even with Diabetes Run has been an integral part of the Grand Finale for many years. This campaign aims to promote a healthy, active lifestyle while raising awareness of diabetes as a critical public health issue. The run is entirely charitable, meaning all proceeds from entry packages are dedicated to purchasing insulin pumps for pregnant women.

About the 19th Get Even with Diabetes Run:

As part of the 33rd GOCC Finale, the run will take place on the following dates:

• 25 January 2025 – an in-person run through the streets of Warsaw
• 20–26 January 2025 – a virtual run accessible from anywhere in the world

The idea behind our charitable run is to raise money to buy personal insulin pumps for pregnant women with diabetes. To date, with the money raised from the run we have purchased and donated 272 personal insulin pumps. This sporting event has a long-running tradition – for 18 years, runners came together to show their support to women battling diabetes.
