Team World Vision is proud to have teams in five of the World's Major Marathons.
 

These epic races will allow you to run through and experience each city with its own flavor; You will not only join a small and select group of individuals from all over the country to run with World Vision, but you will also change the lives of so many children and communities through child sponsorship while experiencing the most epic races on the planet with some of the most amazing teammates.
 


Each race has a different goal to make the most out of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity whether through sponsorship or cash fundraising. Because entries to the World Major Marathon series are extremely limited, spots on each team are by invite only.
