The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Tennessee Chapter Team In Training^® (TNT) program offers a 16- to 20-week, daily training schedule designed for the novice to advanced athlete. Our seasoned coaches will provide you with the necessary training and information to cross the finish line of a major endurance event, healthy and proud!

Our knowledgeable and accessible coaches will work with you on form, nutrition and apparel so that you are ready to do your best on race day! Your mentor, a former team member, will provide you with moral support throughout the program. Your honored teammate, a local child or adult survivor of blood cancers, will give you the added motivation to keep training and to push hard on the day of the event.

In return, participants have the opportunity to help the Society succeed in its mission to cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. When participants meet or exceed their fundraising goal, the Society says thanks by covering the participant's race registration, round trip airfare and hotel stay for event weekend.

The Tennessee Chapter is where you can make a real difference.  Take the challenge!
