Cancer walks/ marathons?


i’m doing a project in school and i was wondering if anyone knows about a name of one of those cure for cancer walk/ marathons that have already have happened and how long it was??
thank you in advance

All marathons are 26.2 miles.

26.2 miles with Donna is a marathon for breast cancer research. Link: http://www.breastcancermarathon.com/

The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training is active at many marathons. Link: http://www.teamintraining.org/

PanCan for pancreatic cancer is another group that’s active:. Link: http://www.pancan.org/Volunteer/National/index.html

The best known races are the “Race for the Cure.” Many of these are 5Ks (3.11 miles). Link: http://ww5.komen.org/getinvolved/komenraceforthecure.html

It is also very common to find local races that benefit a particular type of cancer or that raise money or awareness for a certain kind of cancer.

That should get you started.
