“They told us people with diabetes couldn’t run marathons. We decided to prove them wrong.”

Witness the incredible journey of the 2025 Beyond Type Run team as they take on 26.2 miles through the five boroughs of New York City. From the early morning jitters on Staten Island to the euphoric finish in Central Park, this film, made by our team at Junk Films, captures the grit, the sweat, and the relentless spirit of the diabetes community.

Beyond Type Run is more than just a marathon team—it’s a global movement to dismantle the stigma surrounding Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. This year, over 50 runners (including T1Ds, T2Ds, and caregivers) hit the pavement to show the world that a diagnosis isn’t a limit—it’s a starting line.
