Marathon In A Month - Cancer Society

The Cancer Society of Otago and Southland is inviting students to get active by completing a Marathon In A Month this November.

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

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 and is great training for summer sports.

If 42 km is not a big enough challenge, 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. If you would like more information or to register, see the link here and flyer below.
