Hear what of our participants have to say.......
"Having never been a runner, but wanting to complete a full marathon,
I knew that I needed a lot of support and direction to achieve my
goal. Team In Training provided me with just that. My coach always
had answers to questions and terrific tips for training. She gave me the
guidance I needed, without being overbearing. I also liked being able to
help other people even though I was attaining a personal goal. Team In
Training is a very easy organization to work with. The participants are
every day people, not elite athletes, so I never felt out of my league. I
truly enjoyed my experience with the organization."
"Team In Training is a phenomenal opportunity for members of a
community to join together and work for a common goal. The
result of TNT participants' efforts are life changing for
both those who benefit from The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's support
and for those who have completed an endurance event after reaching a
sizeable fundraising goal."
"I've found Team In Training to be the perfect venue for
bringing out the best in people. I've been involved for over 9 years and
met a lot of great people doing some really great things.

Training
The Team In Training® (TNT) program is designed for walkers,
runners, triathletes, and cyclists of all skill levels
and abilities. TNT offers the most comprehensive training program
including experienced coaches who design a day-by-day training program
that prepares participants for their race day events.
Group training consists of Saturday or Sunday morning workouts at various
locations around MA, NH and ME. There are also informal weekday group
training sessions. In addition to meeting with your coaches weekly, you
will receive weekly emails from coaches that include training tips and
updates.
Honored
Teammates
Each team has an honored teammate, a leukemia patient or survivor, in
whose honor the participant trains, races and raises funds. The honored
teammate is each participant's personal connection to leukemia and other
blood cancers. Participants have a chance to meet their honored teammates
at socials and training. Participants can also train
in honor or memory of someone in their personal life.
Fundraising
In return for all the wonderful benefits of the TNT program, participants
are asked to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. Once you
achieve the fundraising minimum for your race, the TNT staff will arrange
and pay for your airfare, hotel stay, race registration, TNT weekend events
and wetsuit for triathletes. The TNT staff is
dedicated to helping you achieve your fundraising goals. TNT staff
and mentors provide ideas, suggestions and materials to help you reach your
goal.
