Why participate as a Team?

The Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure® is a community event honoring people whose lives have been touched by breast cancer.  Participating as a Team offers a supportive structure for those that may not have had the courage or strength to participate on his/her own.  The camaraderie formed among team members is reflected in the spirit of the event.  The Komen Central Valley Race for the Cure is a race to the finish line, but it also represents the race to find a cure for breast cancer. Learn how you can form your own team.

2008 Team Handbook

The Komen Central Valley Race for the Cure is held in October. Currently it is the largest foot-race fundraiser in Fresno. The Race includes a Men's and Women's 5K Race, 5K/1Mile Coed Walks, and a 1/8 mile Kids for the Cure race. More than a race, it is a family event with booths, food, education, entertainment, and special recognition of breast cancer survivors.
