Run For A Cause |
The IMT Des Moines Marathon provides community events encouraging active participation in maintaining healthy lifestyle choices. In addition, as an organization, we support various charitable programs that benefit our local community through cash, in-kind product, and race weekend engagement contributions. By participating as an athlete in the IMT Des Moines Marathon, you support many of these causes, and for that, we thank you.
Team CCC is a network of runners who raise money for Children’s Cancer Connection to benefit families across Iowa affected by childhood cancer. Members earn special swag, prizes, and perks for their fundraising. The more money you raise, the more incentives you’ll receive. All you need to do is register, share your fundraising page, and get running!
You can partner your Half Marathon or 5K registration with the Special Olympics Iowa Unified Pairing program. This an excellent opportunity for you “partner up” with a Special Olympic athlete for a shared training and competition experience. 2023 info is coming soon.
