Returned2you if you go to active.com you can search for events in your zip code. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society also has TNT that will train people to walk or run a full or half marathon. you raise funds for cancer research and patient support. I have done 2 TNT events and LOVE them. Great support and lots of information. Great for beginners as well as seasoned walkers and runners. Awesome folks training as well.
