Run for Refugee Mental Health with Team Tutapona!
Join Team Tutapona at the 2025 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon or 10 Mile and make your miles count! Whether you’re conquering the full 26.2 miles or taking on the scenic 10-mile route, you’ll be part of an unforgettable race weekend while raising vital support for refugee mental health.
The Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon is known as the Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America, winding through the vibrant streets of Minneapolis and St. Paul, past shimmering lakes, tree-lined parkways, and energetic crowds. The 10 Mile offers a shorter—but equally inspiring—route leading into the heart of the marathon finish. Expect an electric atmosphere, incredible community support, and a race day experience you’ll never forget.
By running with Team Tutapona, you’re not just crossing a finish line—you’re bringing healing to those impacted by war and trauma. Tutapona provides life-changing mental health programs for refugees and communities affected by conflict, helping individuals process their experiences, build resilience, and find hope for the future.
When you run with us, you’ll receive:
✅ A Team Tutapona race shirt
✅ A personal fundraising page to rally support
✅ Encouragement from a passionate community
✅ The joy of knowing your race is transforming lives
Ready to make a difference?
Sign up today and run for healing, hope, and change.
Why is Tutapona’s work so important?
Tutapona exists to provide mental health support to some of the world’s most war-affected communities. We do this through group programming and individual support sessions delivered by all local staff in each programming location.
Since we began this work 17 years ago, over 77,000 men, women, and children from the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Iraq, Syria, Uganda, and now Ukraine have found the courage, resilience, and strength to begin moving forward. Children see futures ahead of them. Families experience restoration. Communities are living in peace. And hope is growing.
