Why Race for the Cure?

The Komen Eugene Race for the Cure raises money and awareness for the fight against breast cancer, celebrates breast cancer survivors, and honors those who have lost their battle with the disease.  This year we are excited for the 2nd Annual Komen Eugene Race for the Cure! Please join us to walk or run the scenic 5K course near the Willamette River, starting and ending at Autzen Stadium. Thousands of walkers, runners and volunteers will join together in Komen’s mission to end breast cancer forever!
