Villa Carlos Paz to host Beto Metrebián Marathon for diabetes awareness

To mark International Diabetes Day, Villa Carlos Paz will host the Beto Metrebián Marathon and awareness event this Saturday. Organized by Amigos de la Diabetes in collaboration with the local municipality, the program includes a 5-kilometer race and a walk starting at 17:30 at the Costanera near the Convention Center.

The event aims to promote healthy habits and preventive care through free glucose and hypertension screenings, as well as the distribution of fruit and avocado. In addition to the athletic activities, there will be a taekwondo demonstration for seniors. Dr. Gustavo Díaz emphasized the importance of dietary awareness, noting that excessive consumption of high-fructose beverages contributes significantly to the prevalence of metabolic diseases.
