  • At Twin Cities In Motion, we invite people to move with us whoever they are, wherever they’re headed, and for whatever moves them. We believe factors like experience-level, access, ability, or financial status shouldn’t be barriers to a movement journey.

     

    In that spirit we offer the following adaptive Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon participation pathways for athletes with disabilities:

     

    Duo Teams – Teams of four participants (one rider and three alternately pushing and protecting the athlete in the push-chair) to allow a participant without the ability to self-locomote the distance to participate in the event.

     

    Guide Runners for the Visually Impaired – Teams of two runners (a visually impaired runner and a sighted guide-runner) to allow runners with visual impairments to safely navigate the course and among other participants.

    • For more information contact: Ed Whetham, Director of Event Operations ([email protected])

     

    Handcycles – Athletes with disabilities intending to utilize a handcycle are eligible to any entry method into Marathon Weekend events. The handcycle division is considered an exhibition event. No awards or prize money will be given for this division. Participants in the handcycle division must use hand-powered cycles or hand-powered cycles with electronic assist. Foot-powered devices of any kind are prohibited.

    • For more information contact: Ed Whetham, Director of Event Operations ([email protected])

    Professional Push-Rim Wheelchair Racing Division – Invited, individual athletes with disabilities who compete for awards and prize money in push-rim wheelchairs – i.e., wheelchairs that are propelled by pushing on the wheels of the chair without mechanical advantage.

    • For more information contact: Jim Estes, Profession Athlete Recruiter ([email protected])

     

    The contacts listed above can share additional information about the pathways they manage, answer questions and assist in the application process. If you are an athlete with a disability who does not see a pathway that meets your needs, please contact [email protected] to explore opportunities with us.

     

    We aim to support all movers because we believe that motion leads to more.
