Half the Distance, More Community Impact!
What it Means to #MoveForMore
At TCM, we know the power of movement for individuals, and for community. It connects, heals, and energizes us.
The TC Half Marathon for More offers community-minded runners an opportunity to support TCM's mission by running our charity-focused half marathon event that culminates on the marathon finish line. Entrants are required to donate or raise funds for Twin Cities In Motion or one of our Charity Partners by a select date before Marathon Weekend.
