Raise money for American Cancer Society DetermiNation

JOIN OUR 2026 PITTSBURGH DETERMINATION TEAM!

DetermiNation is the American Cancer Society’s event endurance program, spanning a variety of sports including cycling, running, hiking, yoga, and more.  The collective efforts of the dedicated athletes who use their fortitude to help raise funds to take down cancer are nothing short of amazing.

  • Guaranteed race entry
  • Monthly group runs & online coaching
  • Access to private Facebook group to bond with teammates
