Koman Triangle Race for the Cure
May 6, 2017 @ 7:00 am - 5:00 pm
The 21st Annual Susan G. Komen Triangle Race for the Cure, presented locally by Duke Cancer Institute, will be a month earlier this year with the new date set for Saturday, May 6, 2017, at The Frontier in Research Triangle Park (RTP).
The Race attracts thousands of participants, many of whom are survivors, and the anticipated lower temperatures in May will make event activities more comfortable for all while increasing participation opportunities for people with heat-related health concerns.
The annual event features a 5k run/walk and an inspiring Survivor Celebration that honors participants who have battled breast cancer. Plans also include an expanded Tailgate Zone with food trucks, a beer-tasting garden, and fun activities for all ages.
The Komen Triangle Race for the Cure® raises awareness and funds for the fight against breast cancer.
Seventy-five percent of the net funds raised stay in the local community to support breast health education, screening, treatment and programs for women and families in a 29-county service area. The remaining twenty-five percent supports Susan G. Komen’s national research program.
