Lace Up Your Way
We invite you to #LaceUpYourWay! You choose the activity and you set the pace. Whatever you decide to do, every Lacer helps fund education, support services, advocacy and diabetes research that could lead to the next big medical breakthrough.
Run
Whether you’re a hobby jogger or love the thrill of going fast, running is one of the quickest ways to clock your kilometres.
Ride
Hop on your bike, scooter, or skateboard to go the distance. Indoor bikes count, too! This is the easiest way to complete the 100k Challenge!
Walk
Walking is an easy way to exercise, and a great way to get the whole family involved: parents, kids, and even your pets!
Move
Join us by stretching, toning, or dancing in your living room! Every two hours of a workout is about 10 kilometres of distance travelled.
We have reached the finish line!
Together, we have raised over $355,000 and moved over 100,000 km (and counting). Thank you to everyone who was a part of the 3rd Annual Lace Up to End Diabetes. Throughout September, you Laced Up, challenged yourself, came together, and made a difference for the 1 in 3 people affected by diabetes across Canada. We couldn't have done it without our wonderful Lacers, partners, team captains, and supporters.
Thank you all for Lacing Up to help bring us one step closer to a cure. See you next year!
