  3. Set up your fundraising page.

Team members receive a personal, customizable fundraising page, race-day apparel, training and fundraising support, and an invitation to a team celebration.

About Team Superstars

Team Superstars was founded in 2014 when marketing and recruitment began in earnest. The first cohort of athletes participated in the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon and TC 10-mile in October 2015. In June 2016, Team Superstars expanded to include Grandma’s Marathon weekend events. More than 300 employees, patient families and community members have gone the distance for kids and have raised over $500,000 by participating in one of our partner races or an event of their choosing.
