The Glucose Grind
June 28th, 2025
The Glucose Grind Endurance Run isn’t just about pushing physical limits—it’s about pushing for real change in the lives of Seniors on PEI living with Diabetes.
The Glucose Grind is a 65KM endurance run from Kensington to downtown Charlottetown, but participation is open to everyone, at any level. There are no expectations for distance or speed – whether participants choose to run the full 65KM, split it into a team, walk or jog a portion of the route, exercise in their own community, or simply donate and spread awareness, every contribution matters. Managing diabetes comes with challenges, and many seniors struggle to afford the medical supplies, nutritional support, and resources they need.
