College of Pharmacy to Host 5K Fun Walk/Run for Diabetes Oct.9

POCATELLO – Students of Idaho State University’s College of Pharmacy will hold a 5K Fun Walk/Run for Diabetes on Oct. 9 as part of American Pharmacists Month and in preparation for National Diabetes Month in November.
The event will also include health education booths and hands-on demonstrations that participants and onlookers can enjoy.
Preparations have already begun for this event and the college is working with a number of other groups on campus including nursing students, physician’s assistant students and the ISU Wellness Center, but they are looking for additional assistance in funding and preparations for further advertising, water station supplies and materials for participants.
Registration begins at 9 a.m. at the ISU Hutchinson Quadrangle. The race begins at 9:30 a.m. There is a $10 entry fee.
