Taranaki residents are encouraged to get active in November to support the Taranaki Cancer Society.
Lisa Grigg, fundraising and events coordinator, says Marathon in a Month is a challenge to get active.
"Marathon in a Month asks people to complete a marathon during the month of November. This works out to be 1.4km each day. It breaks it up into smaller and doable stints. The event is really good for rehabilitation into getting active again and it's a way people can complete it at their own pace and in their own time."
People can swim, run, bike, and skip for the challenge, she says.
"It's your marathon completed your way. We just ask that people be sun smart and make sure people look after themselves so they don't get sunburnt. We're coming into the warmer months so it's important to wear appropriate clothing and sunscreen."
