Komen Northwest NC Race for the Cure®

Race Basics
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 raises funds and awareness for the fight against this life threatening disease. The Race is a 5K with an optional shorter family route. All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable, even in the event of inclement weather.
