Athlete Benefits

We believe in supporting our athletes at no cost to them. Team membership includes the following benefits:

  • One-on-one mentorship for training and diabetes

  • Group support and learning via regular team meetings on Zoom

  • Free training camp to train in-person with other athletes

  • Free professional athlete photos (provided at training camp)

  • Free run form video analysis

  • Sponsor discounts to be determined

Athletes will be required to purchase a running jersey for the year to help spread the word about our team. The anticipated subsidized cost is between $50 and $75. Other than this, there is no cost to join.

Team Camp

Our Spring 2024 training camp is sponsored by Tandem Diabetes Care. The camp will take place May 24-27 in Eugene, Oregon— the birthplace of Nike and competitive running in the USA. Our next camp will be scheduled for the late fall.

As part of our unwavering commitment to supporting elite athletes with Type 1 diabetes, we are thrilled to announce that housing and all programming for the camp will be offered free of cost. Our mission is to eliminate financial barriers, providing an inclusive and empowering experience for all participants. While the camp itself is complimentary, athletes will be responsible for covering their transportation and some food costs, ensuring accessibility for all who share our passion for conquering endurance challenges and defying limits. Team members who cannot afford transportation will be provided with personal fundraising pages.
