Additional Information
The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure is the world's largest and most successful education and fundraising event for breast cancer.
The series of 5k runs/fitness walks raises significant funds and awareness for the breast cancer movement, celebrates breast cancer survivorship and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease. Since its origination in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure Series has grown from one local Race in Dallas with 800 participants to a global series of 120 Races with more than 1.5 million people expected to participate in 2008. The Komen Race for the Cure Series has grown internationally with events in Germany, Italy and Puerto Rico.
The Komen Race Series is unique in that it attracts people of all ages and fitness levels. Although most participants choose to walk or jog, elite runners are also drawn to this event. All Komen Race for the Cure courses are certified by USA Track & Field (USATF), the national governing body for track and field, long distance running, race walking and cross-country events.
