Race for the Cure

Teams

Joining the Komen Atlanta Race for the Cure® as a team greatly enhances the fun for participants!

Any corporation, hospital, organization, church, co-op, school, friends, family, neighborhood or group can be a team. A team is a minimum of 10 people, and may consist of runners, walkers or spectators in any combination. Both men and women can participate in both events - 5K run/walk and the 1-mile walk. There is no limit to the number of members you can have on your team.

Preparing for race day as a team only adds to the Race experience. Here are a few ideas, and we hope you will also be inspired to create your own challenges and team activities:

Large companies may organize inter-department competition for largest team or most donations pledged
Write an article for your company, neighborhood or church newsletter to recruit team members, raise pledges and increase awareness about the Race
Encourage team members to raise pledge money and be creative with the fundraising
Design team apparel to be worn on Race day, including t-shirts and hats
Make posters or banners to carry in the Race - feature your team name or celebrated breast cancer survivor
Rally a cheering squad to support your team on Race day
Use your own enthusiasm to promote the race
