Equity in Motion
Everyone Deserves a Place on the Start Line.
We believe experience level, access, ability, identity, and financial status shouldn’t be barriers to a movement journey.
Equity in Motion exists to welcome and support participants who face financial barriers or disadvantages.
Equity in Motion offers discounted entries at select Twin Cities In Motion events, including the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend.
Equity in Motion is a program for those who wish to run a Twin Cities In Motion event but have encountered uneven or unwelcome start lines in their lives. If this program would make a difference in getting you to participate in one of our events, we encourage you to apply. If you’re able to cover the full cost of participation, we ask you to consider leaving opportunities for those who may need a hand.
Equity in Motion discounts are available for Hot Dash, Get in Gear, and PNC Women Run the Cities, as well as Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend. Terms may apply. The discount cannot be used for the TC Half Marathon for More charity event and TC Loony and Ultra Loony Challenges on marathon weekend, for example. The Turkey Day 5K is not part of the Equity in Motion program.
