20th Anniversary

In 1988, a man named Bruce Cleland trained with a group of friends to run the New York City Marathon and raised funds for leukemia research. Training in honor of Cleland's baby daughter Georgia, who was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukemia, the group referred to themselves as the "team in training," and the name stuck.

Twenty years later, Team In Training (TNT) is the world's largest endurance sports training program, providing coaching and support for people to cross the finish line at marathons, cycling and triathlon events. Over 340,000 participants have raised more than $800 million to help blood cancer patients live better, longer lives.

Join TNT during our 20th anniversary year and discover...

New Friends - Meet great people - your teammates! You'll support and encourage one another during training, travel to your event together and enjoy many opportunities to socialize.

New Milestones - World class coaches will help you achieve optimal performance based on your personal goals and abilities. You will receive a four- to five-month comprehensive training program with advice on form and technique, race strategies, injury prevention and nutrition.

New You - Crossing the finish line, you'll experience an incredible sense of accomplishment, knowing that you've done something you can be proud of - not just for yourself, but for thousands of people battling cancer.

In recognition of extraordinary fundraising achievements during our 20th anniversary year, the Society has commissioned from one of the world's most exclusive retailers original, silver gifts for participants who raise $10,000 or more.

Raise $10,000 or More - Sterling Silver Bracelet or Key Chain
Participants reaching the $10,000 goal receive a specially-designed sterling silver bracelet or key chain.

Raise $20,000 or More - 20th Anniversary Pewter Bowl
Participants raising $20,000 in 2008 receive a stunning pewter bowl emblazoned with the TNT anniversary logo.

Sign Up to train with Team In Training during 2008 and help us reach our $1 billion target.

There couldn't be a better time to join!
