Susan G. Komen Triangle Race for the Cure

Triangle Race for the Cure | June 8, 2013

The Race for the Cure is our major fundraising event of the year that celebrates survivorship; honors those who have lost their battle, and most importantly, raise funds and awareness for the fight against this life threatening disease.

Race Basics
The Triangle Race for the Cure® will be held Saturday, June 8, 2013 at Meredith College in Raleigh, North Carolina.

All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, even in the event of inclement weather. The Race is a 5K (3.1 miles). 90% of our registrants choose to walk rather than run the 5K. We also offer a one mile walk.

Spread the word about the Race with our Participant Tool Kit. The tool kit is your place to find Race posters, breast cancer educational materials, fundraising ideas, and Facebook profile and cover photos.
