2013 P.F. Chang’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Arizona Marathon & ½ Marathon

Team Diabetes is the marathon training program of the American Diabetes Association.  Our program is for everyone and for all skill levels. Whether a runner or walker, we will provide the training and support you need to complete a mararthon, half-marathon, or 2-person relay.   

Hundreds of participants have successfully completed the Team Diabetes training program since it began in 1998. They did it, and so can you!

Training includes a 21 week flexible schedule consisting of weekly group runs/walks at alternating locations, speed workouts, clinics by medical and fitness professionals, and the excellent support and guidance of Team D's seasoned coaches.

Our monthly events help create a fun, supportive, team environment; and fundraising education and materials are provided to ensure the low fundraising minimum is easy to achieve.

Not from the Phoenix area?   Don't worry, Team Diabetes even has a program for the out-of-towners that want to participate and be part of the Team.  Check out our Team Diabetes Out-of-Town Program information.

When you join Team D you can help the 26 million Americans living with diabetes by raising critically needed funds for research, education and advocacy, while staying fit and accomplishing the goal of a lifetime.
