Race For The Cure Information


Thank you so much for those of you who have already registered for the race and to those to who have expressed an interest and still need to register. Also, thank you to everyone who has financially sponsored us! We are so grateful for each of you.  

Here is a list of information that we hope you'll find helpful and/or necessary for the Race for the Cure on Sunday, September 11th at Garden of the Gods Park.   

Our team (Oh, The Places You'll Go!) will meet at the registration tent at 7:15am.  We will then hand out our team buttons and gather into groups.  You can choose to run the 5K at 8:00,  you can walk the 5K at 8:15, or participate in the 1K family walk at 8:45.  Event officials will direct you where to go at the appropriate time. We do not have plans to meet after the race so you can do your own thing.  

If want to get there early, the whole event starts at 6:00am, with an opening ceremony at 7:00.  Here is a link to the agenda: Race Day Schedule

You have many options for parking.  This is a well attended event so there will be lots of traffic. (Sorry!) Click on the link for further information:  Parking Map

For those of you who have not yet registered, or would like to add/bring someone else with you, there will be a registration tent at the event.  It costs $5.00 extra to register on that day.  Without the extra $5.00 fee on the day of the event adults are $30.00 and children ages 5-16 are $15.00.  You can also pre-register at Chapel Hills mall or the Citadel mall.  Here is the link for the specific locations and times at each location:  Registration and Packet Pickup Info

For those of you who have already registered, you need to pick up your race packet and shirt (make sure to go soon so they don't run out of your size).  You will do this at the same locations that you can register (see link immediately above) - most will probably want to pick up their packets at one of the two malls.

What else do you need to know?  You can call or email Julie or Steve or go the website at: Oh! The Places You'll Go Team Page  for answers. Also, here is a race FAQ: FAQs  We want to make this easy and fun for each of you.  

Thank you again and see you there!
Steve, Julie, Sarah, and Hannah
