After several years of a handful of runners sporting Venture singlets at races around the country, Team Venture was born and became an official Charity Partner for the Twin Cities Marathon (TCM).

In 2018, Team Venture had 32 runners represented at TCM and collectively raised $18,880 for anti-trafficking initiatives in SE Asia. In 2019, our team of 32 runners raised $28,142. In 2020, during a pandemic, 30 runners raised $27,359 through a virtual group run. In 2021, we had a similar number of runners and raised over $28,000. 2022 broke records for Team Venture! Nearly 60 runners raised over $44,000 for refugee care in SE Asia.

Registration codes and instructions on how to register to officially join Team Venture will be released to interested runners in March. **Please wait for a unique Venture charity team code (sent from a Venture staff member) to register. If you register through TCM’s website without a Venture charity code, you cannot be officially added to our charity team.**

Each runner will use our Venture Miles App which allows you to track your miles, track funds raised and includes a devotional component.

Team Venture also has a facebook group to stay connected throughout the training months. To build community in other creative ways, we will have monthly Google hangout meetings early summer as a team and a couple in person gatherings late summer as we prepare for race day.
