Welcome to the Iowa Chapter's Team In Training® (TNT) web site.
TNT is the world's first, best and largest endurance sports training program providing first timers to seasoned athletes the opportunity to acheive their best while running or walking a marathon or half marathon, cycling a 100-mile century ride, or completing a triathlon. This unique program provides you with the coaching, training, teammates and amazing travel destinations to make your athletic goals a reality.
In exchange for training and support, you will help raise money to support our mission: Cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Money raised through TNT helps support The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society researchers as well as patient services and education programs locally here in Iowa.
In the past 20 years, more than 390,000 TNT participants have raised over $950 million to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society! Are you ready to team up with us for a lifesaving cause?
