My Story...

Hi my name is Sophia Koch and I am 16 years old. Running this 5k is really important because TLP is so special to me. In 2023 I got to go to Tanzania and see first hand how this organization has changed lives and continues to change thousands more lives every year. I am very passionate about clean water and want to do anything I can to contribute! Thank you for your support and the impact you will leave on many lives.


Description

I'm a member of the Tanzania Life Project team and running (and/or walking) a race as part of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Weekend to help bring clean water access to communities in Tanzania.

Access to clean water changes everything—health, education, and opportunity for children and families. Together through Tanzania Life Project, we’re helping make that possible.

Every mile we run and every dollar raised goes toward sustainable clean water solutions, hygiene education, and human rights governance that empowers women and girls to overcome societal barriers that limit their opportunities.  That's creating lasting impact!

Join our team or donate to support a runner and be part of something bigger than the race.
