The 22^nd Annual Susan G. Komen^® Triangle Race for the Cure, presented locally by Duke Cancer Institute, will take place on Saturday, May 5, 2018, at The Frontier in Research Triangle Park (RTP).

“We are excited to have the Triangle Race in May again this year, when average temperatures are in the mid 70s,” said Pam Kohl, Executive Director of Komen North Carolina Triangle to the Coast (NCTC). “Last year we had the ‘coolest’ Triangle Race for the Cure and this year we plan to do the same! Our goal is to raise $1 million to support local programs and national cutting-edge research, which will enable us to achieve our bold goal of decreasing breast cancer mortality in the U.S. by 50% by 2026.”

The annual event features a 5k run/walk and an inspiring Survivor Celebration that honors participants who have battled breast cancer, are battling breast cancer or are forever fighters. 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, which funds ground-breaking research, including breast cancer research at North Carolina universities.
