The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Series is the largest series of 5K run/walks in the world. And, it’s coming to Brentwood this Saturday!
The organization raises significant funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivorship, and honors those who have lost the battle with the disease.
Since its inception in 1983, the Komen Race for the Cure has grown from one local race with 800 participants, to a global series of more than 120 races. That’s over 1 million people!
The race will be held this Saturday in Maryland Farms in Brentwood. Race village will open at 6:30 a.m., and the race starts at 9 a.m. Contestants can pick-up packets at the Williamson County Chamber of Commerce Healthy Living and Lifestyles Expo on October 24th from 3 to 6 p.m. or October 25th from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Brentwood Baptist Church (7777 Concord Road).
Are you out of town this weekend? Work nights? Or just plain enjoy your sleep? No fear, you can register as an individual and have a shirt mailed to you. That way, you can snooze through the race and still support the cause.
Every step counts! Your donation provides women and men in Nashville and our 11-county area with life-saving services. Up to 75 percent of the funds raised at the Komen Greater Nashville Race for the Cure remains here in Nashville to provide medical treatment for qualified breast cancer patients who cannot afford care, surgery, free mammograms and diagnostics, chemotherapy, and radiation.
Not only are they receiving the medical services needed, but the support they need, as well. Support groups, assistance with finding financial resources, prescription refills and transportation to medical appointments, housing for patients during treatment, education about the warning signs of breast cancer, methods of early detection and the latest treatment options and cutting-edge research to find a cure for breast cancer.
The remaining 25 percent goes to fund international, ground-breaking research to discover the causes of breast cancer and to finding a cure.
