Do I get a t-shirt?

All registered participants will receive an event t-shirt. The shirts for survivors and those living with metastatic breast cancer will be in special colors to recognize their role in our event.

Register early to receive your shirt before event day!

How will I get my t-shirt?

We are now mailing all shirts for all participants.

In order to receive your shirt in time for Race day*, you must register by Sunday, August 25, 2024 at 11:59 pm Central. Participants who register after Sunday, August 25, 2024 will receive your shirt(s) by mail after the event.

*Shirts are being mailed via USPS. As with any shipping provider, delays may occur.

Please note: there will be no t-shirts available for pick up either pre-event or on event day. Thank you for your commitment to Susan G. Komen and our efforts to simplify our t-shirt process.

Why are all t-shirts being mailed this year?

Mailing all shirts guarantees you will get the size you requested. Additionally, the new program will cut down on waste and will allow for cost savings, ensuring more of your fundraising dollars are directed to Komen’s lifesaving mission.

We're working on scheduling some fabulous activities now! Check back later for all the details.

Sept 18th | ONE Community Wednesday
A great activity for teams, family and friends, because this day is all about community!

We even have some ONE pot recipes (or share your own!) and Komen Conversation Cards to kick-start your plans.

It's time to celebrate and thank your donors for their support! Use the tools in the Race app and your Fundraising Center to send text and email Thank You's.
