The American Cancer Society DetermiNation endurance event program is a powerful and inspiring movement that saves lives by enabling athletes of all abilities to dedicate their training and participation in marathons, triathlons, cycling, and other endurance events to a lifesaving effort to fight cancer. Since 1996, our nation of athletes has swum, biked, and run thousands of miles to raise millions of dollars. The American Cancer Society DetermiNation program will help you do the unthinkable, achieve what seems impossible, and change the course of cancer forever. With access to professional training, an unparalleled community of support, and inspiration every step of the way, the American Cancer Society will help you finish a half-marathon, marathon, or triathlon. Your personal race victory will change your life, but the finish line will be just the beginning. Because your triumph also means a triumph over cancer-where every step you take and every mile you conquer will create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.
