Team USA Minnesota will offer a limited number of entries for the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon and the Medtronic TC 10 Mile as a fundraiser for its elite long distance training program, the organization announced yesterday.
Both races -- which will be held on Oct. 2 -- filled earlier this summer.
The entries, provided by race organizers Twin Cities In Motion to Team USA Minnesota, are available until Aug. 22, with final registration due online at Twin Cities In Motion by Aug. 24.
To run the 30th annual Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon, participants would need to raise $350 for an entry. To run the popular Medtronic TC 10 Mile, the contribution is $250. All contributions are tax deductible -- Team USA Minnesota is a 501c3 nonprofit founded in 2001.
Team USA Minnesota notes that all funds raised through this fundraiser will go toward stipends and travel expenses for the Team USA Minnesota athletes competing nationally and internationally at distances ranging from the 800 and 1500 meters up through the marathon.
The program has developed an Olympian and 16 national champions and placed a number of athletes on world teams -- on the track, roads and cross country -- representing the USA.
Anyone interested in this fundraising effort can e-mail Pat Goodwin at pfgoodwin [AT] teamusaminnesota [DOT] org or call 952-924-1081.
