Since 2016, ACT community members have taken strides at the Twin Cities Marathon to advocate for microbiome research and raise funds for its advancement. ACT is excited to announce that we will once again be a charity sponsor for the 2026 Twin Cities Marathon and welcome you to join our team.

Amanda, an Ulcerative Colitis patient, University of Minnesota Microbiota Therapeutics Team researcher, and ACT runner shares her perspective:
"I've really loved this whole experience from being a patient, being a researcher, and being a runner for ACT. Every single dollar, every single bit of help that anybody provides to ACT is truly changing lives and it's really transforming and moving this field of microbiome research forward. It's really exciting and I welcome everybody to be a part of that."
