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.
AS AN ATHLETE, YOU ALSO HAVE A DIRECT OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE YOUR RACE EXPERIENCE EVEN MORE MEANINGFUL BY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT THROUGH BUILDING CAMPAIGN AWARENESS OR FUNDRAISING FOR A CHARITY OF YOUR CHOICE, THROUGH YOUR TRAINING PROGRAM, OR BY RUNNING OR WALKING ON RACE DAY ON BEHALF OF ONE OF OUR CHARITY PARTNERS. EITHER WAY, WE WELCOME YOUR EFFORTS TOWARD MAKING THE DES MOINES COMMUNITY A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, GROW, AND PLAY.
