About the Event

Harlingen Medical Center (HMC) & Texas State Technical College (TSTC) are teaming up to promote health and wellness and raise awareness of Celiac Disease – with the first HMC & TSTC Celiac Disease Awareness 5k Run/1m Walk.  The goal with the run-walk is to bring education to the residents of South Texas regarding the health-related risks linked to celiac disease, which is a genetic autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to possible damage in the small intestine.
