Can Too is a non-profit program that matches fitness incentives with a good cause! Beginners and experienced athletes alike are given professional coaching as part of a team to run the marathon, half-marathon or 9k event. In return, participants raise sponsorship dollars that go directly towards funding Australian scientists working in cancer research through Cure Cancer Australia. For more information on Cure Cancer Australia check out www.cure.org.au
Can Too Run is for people at all fitness and experience levels who are able to train for their goals in a fun, safe and supportive environment. We will not only provide your training schedule but experts give information about nutrition, injury prevention and race strategy, and of course, the work of Cure Cancer Australia Foundation.
