IMT Des Moines Marathon 2012

The IMT Des Moines Marathon is offering Zorrel technical shirts in all race divisions. These high quality, long sleeve shirts are offered in unisex and women's sizing.

The women's shirt comes offers a fit truer to women's sizing; women's shirts are tapered from chest to waist and the sizing is different. To determine sizing for unisex or women's shirts, please see the ATHLETE SHIRTS page of the IMT Des Moines Marathon website under the REGISTER heading.

If you would like to receive a women's shirt with women's sizing you must select a women's shirt when prompted to provide a shirt size during online registration. Otherwise, all athletes will receive a unisex shirt at athlete packet pick up by default.

Athlete shirt exchanges will not be allowed at the Scheels Sports & Fitness Expo. If you would like to exchange your shirt for any reason, you will be able to do so on race day or after the event.

The IMT Des Moines Marathon and Bankers Trust have partnered together to support United Way of Central Iowa's healthy lifestyle choices.

All prize money from the Bankers Trust Marathon Relay will be donated to nonprofit charity programs through the United Way. The top 4 teams in each race division have three options to choose from where their charity prize money can be donated to.

Teams can chose to donate to United Way of Central Iowa's Community Fund (which supports efforts in education, income and health), some 68 partner organizations (find a list of partner organizations by clicking this link www.unitedwaydm.org/partners), or eligible organizations (a health & human service organization that is a 5o1c3 and has a presence within and serves the people of the State of Iowa).

If the team picks an organization that ends up being ineligible for some reason, they will be contacted and asked to choose another organization.

The PE4Life program has been targeted and will be promoted as the primary United Way Community Fund program in 2012. The goal is to raise $2,000. Once that goal has been met, Community Fund contributions will go towards health initiative strategies. If a team selects a charity other than United Way, funds will go through United Way to that organization.
