Team Type 1 ::: Running Team

The Running Team is the Team Type 1 's most recent expansion into other sports. The new Team Type 1 Running team is comprised of some of the finest amateur endurance runners in the U.S. who continue to excel in sport, despite living with type 1 diabetes.

In the inaugural year of the running program the team went great distances to change the way the world thinks about diabetes. Ten members of the Running Team completed a 3,000 mile trans-continental run beginning in late October, 2011. All ten of the Run Across America runners covered 20 to 30 miles each per day to finish the trans-continental journey in just 15 days. The Run Across America ended in New York City on World Diabetes Day, November, 14th 2011.
