You can walk, swim, run, bike or row your way to 42km between 1st to 30th November - all while raising funds for the Cancer Society's research, prevention, and support services and getting fit and healthy.

The Cancer Society of Otago and Southland invites you to participate in Marathon In A Month this November.

We are very excited to be offering Marathon in a Month for the first time in Otago and Southland this year and encourage everyone to give this fantastic event a go.

To break it down - that's only 1.4 km daily! Participating in a marathon can be physically demanding in one day but achievable over a month – this could be a great training incentive for summer sport teams.

If 42km is not a big enough challenge for you, you can set the bar higher – two marathons, even three! Marathon in a month is a great way to get active this spring by committing to a goal that suits you, or your team.

The funds raised will ensure that the 71 New Zealanders a day who are diagnosed with cancer will not go through it alone.
