Join the community!
Team Challenge is the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation’s endurance program, created to raise funds to accelerate cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease or IBD) and support critical patient programs.
With exclusive entries to premier races and events across the world like the TCS NYC Marathon and the prestigious BMW Berlin Marathon, anyone can participate in Team Challenge. You can walk, run, swim, cycle or move anyway you like in support of the IBD community — while raising critical funds for research, better treatments, and one day, IBD cures.
When you become part of Team Challenge, you’re supported by coaches and teammates who understand the impact of IBD. We’re a community: a family bonded together for a purpose much larger than ourselves — to help find cures for millions of Americans living with IBD.
How It Works
Whether you train & travel to a destination event with a group of teammates and coaches or participate in another event closer to home as part of our Race In Orange series, there are plenty of ways to get active and raise funds in support of the IBD community!
