Renegade Run, the race that supports type 1 diabetes research and cure, welcomes special guest mascots of several New England sports teams as well as New England Patriots Cheerleaders.
Type One’s 8th Annual Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race will be held Sunday, October 20, 2019 at Bare Cove Park in Hingham. Fans of all ages will enjoy appearances by special guests: Blades the Bruin, the official mascot of the Boston Bruins; Wally, the official mascot of the Boston Red Sox; Baldwin the Eagle, mascot of Boston College; Sam the Minuteman, mascot of University of Massachusetts Amherst; and Pat Patriot, the official mascot of the New England Patriots, along with New England Patriots Cheerleaders.
The fun family-friendly race begins at 9:00 AM, is open to the public and features a course through four miles of paved trails and wooded terrain. The course offers more than 25 obstacles, including monkey bars to cross, walls and cargo nets to climb, and tunnels to crawl through. Event activities include a Mini Renegade Run for kids, cash prizes, live concert, food trucks, vendors, beer tent and entertaining surprises.
Funds raised will support Type One’s mission to raise funds and awareness for type 1 diabetes research at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). To date, Type One’s Annual Renegade Run has generated tens of thousands of dollars to support the Faustman Lab at MGH which is focused on discovering and developing new treatments for type 1 diabetes, a vaccine for the reversal of long-term type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.
In addition to supporting the Faustman Lab at MGH, Type One donation and fundraising platforms help provide scholarships to local children with type 1 diabetes to attend type 1 diabetes camp, as well as providing qualifying recipients with assistance for diabetes management and treatment.

About Type One
Type One, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recognizes a world free of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and is dedicated to that future by raising public awareness and funds toward a cure through research. Type One was founded in 2012 by a group of South Shore residents to support their friend Tyson Sunnerberg, who was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin, when he was 21 years old. On November 25, 2012, the first ever Renegade Run Obstacle Course Race was held raising awareness and funds toward a cure.
To date, Type One’s Renegade Run has generated tens of thousands of dollars to support the Faustman Lab at MGH, which is run by Dr. Denise Faustman, director of the Immunobiology Laboratory at MGH, and is focused on discovering and developing new treatments for type 1 diabetes and other autoimmune diseases. Dr. Faustman is currently leading a human clinical trial program testing the efficacy of the BCG (bacille Calmette-Guerin) vaccine for reversal of long-term type 1 diabetes.
In addition to supporting the Faustman Lab at MGH, Type One donation and fundraising platforms help provide scholarships to local children with type 1 diabetes to attend type 1 diabetes camp, as well as providing qualifying recipients with assistance for diabetes management and treatment.
