myTEAM TRIUMPH Angel

Become a myTEAM TRIUMPH Angel Athlete - Our mission of creating an inclusive community starts with you.

As a myTEAM TRIUMPH Angel Athlete, you are paired with an athlete with a disability, called a Captain, and commit to guiding them to the finish line. Angels provide encouragement, consistency, and support so that every BODY is celebrated, seen, and included.

Being an Angel is more than participating in a race. It’s about building relationships, showing up for your Captain, and helping create meaningful, life-changing experiences through endurance events across Wisconsin.

First-Time Angels: Join for Free

Thanks to the Miles for Ann Fund, first-time Angels may participate at no cost.

Created in memory of longtime Angel Ann Seidl, this fund honors her legacy of inclusion, encouragement, and unwavering support. Through this fund, new Angels can experience the joy, connection, and purpose that Ann shared so generously with others.

After your first event, future participation will require a fundraising, volunteer, or payment commitment to support your Captain Athlete.

 
Fundraising & Participation Policies

To ensure clarity and consistency for all participants, please review the following policies:

All Angels have until December 31, 2026 to meet their fundraising, volunteer, or payment commitment, regardless of when they sign up.
Fundraising does not roll over from previous years. Each year begins with a new commitment to ensure fair and consistent support for Captain Athletes.
For community safety, Angels are required to complete a background check.

If you have completed a myTEAM TRIUMPH background check within the past 3 years, you will not be required to complete one again.
These guidelines allow us to plan effectively, provide adaptive equipment, and create the best possible experience for our Captains and Angels.

Why Angels Matter

Every dollar raised and every mile shared helps empower athletes with disabilities to experience the thrill of endurance events. When you become an Angel, you are not just volunteering, you are becoming part of a community built on inclusion and shared triumph.

Thank you for being part of the myTEAM TRIUMPH mission. We’re honored to have you alongside us.

Do I need to be a fast or experienced runner to be an Angel?

NOPE! Every level is welcome on the team! It is more about inclusion than it is about breaking a personal record. 

What if I can't fundraise or pay?

We know that money can be an issue and do not want to put you in a financial downfall. Contact us for fundraising ideas that do not take a lot of time or effort. If you cannot support your Captain through fundraising, we ask that you volunteer your time to supplement the money. Sign-up for any of our volunteering spots such as: Door County Kids Triathlon, Bowling Fundraiser, Operation Guardian Angel Memorial Day Run, Fall50, etc.
