World Diabetes Day 2020 (Singapore)

This is the inaugural edition of Diabetes Singapore 5K Virtual Run. It is organised in conjunction with World Diabetes Day 2020. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, it is important that we maintain our health and well being. We hope that the run will provide participants with the opportunity to raise public awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle in preventing and controlling diabetes.

The blue circle
he blue circle is the universal symbol for diabetes. It was introduced in 2006 to give diabetes a common identity. Across cultures, the circle can symbolize life and health. Most significantly for the campaign, the circle symbolizes unity. The blue border of the circle reflects the colour of the sky and the flag of the United Nations.
