Run Like a Girl

Now's the time to shake off the winter cobwebs and have some fun with a little help from the experts at The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training (TNT). You'll get the best coaches and an unparalleled training program for everybody from first-timers to seasoned athletes. They can help you and your friends get in summer shape while supporting a great cause.

Lace Up for The Nike Women's Marathon: TNT will help you prepare for—and get you entry into—one of the nation's most popular events, The Nike Women's Marathon. Not only will your body thank you, you'll be helping a worth-the-sweat cause. The course will keep you pumped and inspired all the way, passing local classics like the Golden Gate Bridge, winding through the lush green Presidio and alongside crashing waves on the Great Highway. Make it a marathon or choose the half marathon course. Run it, walk it, or run/walk it. Just get started soon! The Nike Women's Marathon sells out by lottery, but joining TNT guarantees you a slot.

BONUS: All finishers receive a one-of-a-kind finisher's "medal"… a silver necklace from Tiffany & Co. But, the Nike Women's Marathon isn't just for the ladies. Men can participate, too!

If you want to get out of town, try a half marathon, Hawaiian style, with TNT's new Kaua'i Half Marathon. Other upcoming events: Ride 100 miles through red rocks on the Moab Century Tour, or do the "kelp crawl" in the Triathlon at Pacific Grove.
