Multi-day breast cancer walks give you a reason to train for a half marathon or even marathon distance. The 2011 schedules for the three larger series of walks has been announced. I've participated in and volunteered for the 3-Day Walk and the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. Those events were truly the highlight of my walking life. These are open to both men and women.
In order to participate in these events, you must also fundraise. That's both good and bad, as you must also be doing serious distance training. Often one or the other suffers. In the time since I've participated, social media has really taken off. It may now be easier to reach out to potential donors and supporters using Facebook and Twitter.
Training is extremely important for these events. Don't leave it to the last minute.
