Athletics: Calling All Marathoners and People Who Know Marathoners!

Run the Marine Corps Marathon on October 26 with Team Prevent Cancer. We have slots available for individual and group runners. Help raise funds that benefit the Prevent Cancer Foundation's cancer prevention research, education and community outreach programs. Each Team Prevent Cancer runner is asked to commit to raising a minimum of $1,000, which includes the MCM registration fee. All runners must register by August 1 but can raise funds until Friday, October 24. Help us to continue our work and realize your own fitness goals at the same time. Consider running in memory of or in honor of someone close to you. Contact Jim Wood at james.wood@preventcancer.org or 703-837-3684 for more information. Or, register now to participate in the 2008 Marine Corps Marathon with Team Prevent Cancer: www.preventcancer.org. The Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) is the 4th largest race in the country and the 7th largest race in the world. The course takes runners in and around our nation's capital, passing historic landmarks, scenery and the stately architecture of Arlington, Va., and Washington, D.C.
