Virtual Team In Training


Now recruiting for our winter season:

WALT DISNEY WORLD® Marathon Weekend

P.F. Chang's® Rock 'n' Roll ArizonaTM Marathon & 1/2 Marathon

Virtual Team In Training (VTNT) is an exciting program available in select parts of the United States and is designed to bring all of the benefits of The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Team In Training® (TNT) to people who do not live near an active TNT program.  Join us and train online through VTNT.

VTNT is a program for runners and walkers that offers the following event options:

  • Walt Disney World® Marathon Weekend (Orlando, FL, walk or run, full and half), January 10-11, 2009
  • PF Chang's® Rock 'n' Roll ArizonaTM Marathon & 1/2 Marathon (Phoenix, AZ, walk or run, full and half), January 18, 2009

  • Nike Women's Marathon and Half Marathon (San Francisco, CA, walk or run, full and half), October 2009  
  • Other fall 2009 events TBD

VTNT participants receive all of the benefits of TNT participants and more, including:

  • Training to run or walk a marathon or half marathon, provided by online experienced coaches and experts  
  • Transportation and accommodations to the featured event
  • A once-in-a-lifetime experience to complete a personal goal and, at the same time, to help stop leukemia and other blood cancers from taking more lives  
  • Inspiration by a patient hero - a child or adult cheering for you every step of the way
  • Your very own Web site to help tell others about your participation in TNT and to help raise funds online from friends, family and co-workers

In return, VTNT participants commit to raising funds to support the Society's mission of finding cures for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and improving the quality of life of patients and their families.
