Community Walk in Klaksvík

Global Diabetes Walk – Community Walk in Klaksvík

On Sunday, 15 November, at 14:00, a Global Diabetes Walk will take place in Klaksvík.

We’ll meet at Guttabreyt, from where we’ll walk to Grøv and back. The route is approximately 3 km, and everyone is warmly welcome to join – children, adults and seniors alike. Afterwards, fruit kindly provided by Bónus will be served.

Before the walk, Bára Randrup Joensen, doctor and researcher, will give a short talk about the “Find Everyone with Type 2 Diabetes” screening initiative.

The Global Diabetes Walk is an annual worldwide initiative launched by the World Diabetes Foundation. During November, people in countries around the world come together for walks to raise awareness of diabetes and highlight the importance of physical activity in preventing and managing the condition. The walks are organised in connection with World Diabetes Day.

The event is organised in collaboration between Steno Diabetes Center, the Diabetes Association, Norðoya Gongufelag and Visit North.

We hope to see you there for a lovely walk!

Later in the day, you can also drop in for free Type 2 diabetes screening at the municipal office in Viðareiði from 14:30 to 16:30.
