The goal of the DetermiNation program is to empower endurance athletes in the battle against cancer. DetermiNation provides endurance athletes an outlet to fight back against this terrible disease by raising awareness during the race and raising funds to support the mission of ACS. In return for your pledge to raise $1,000 for the American Cancer Society, we pledge to make your Madison Marathon race experience the best ever!
