Local athletes who have made a new year’s resolution to get into shape will have the opportunity to save lives from cancer while participating in upcoming endurance events by joining the American Cancer Society DetermiNation team.
Whether a first-time competitor or a seasoned athlete, DetermiNation participants can meet the personal challenge of endurance events such as an 8k, 10 mile, half-marathon or marathon with access to free professional training, an unparalleled community of support and inspiration every step of the way.
