About the 3-Day

Lace up your shoes and leave your limits at the door. The Breast Cancer 3-Day is a bold state of mind that unfolds before you like a 60-mile-long pink carpet of hope.

It’s more than a life-changing journey… it’s lifetime-changing. Because the 3-Day is not just 3 days and 60 miles of walking - it's a collection of moments, big and small, and memories that will last forever.

Join us in this remarkable event and help work toward a long, healthy life for everyone threatened by breast cancer.

Net proceeds from the Breast Cancer 3-Days benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure, to fund breast cancer research and community outreach, as well as the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund, to provide an endowment for breast cancer initiatives.

Request our inspiration kit, which includes a 2007 Breast Cancer 3-Day calendar* and Inspiration DVD containing vital breast health information. *While supplies last.

A Challenge Within Your Reach
The 3-Day is designed with your success in mind. It may look monumental on paper (no breast cancer walk is longer) but the route is lined with support and safety nets galore: food, drink, friends, volunteers, medical services, port-a-potties. And the camp at the end of the day’s route, with showers, delicious hot dinners, even entertainment—dotted with the most delightful blue sleeping tents you’ve ever seen—will feel like a four-star resort.

It’s not a race, so you can walk at your own pace, meeting the people around you, sharing your stories.

We'll Help You Train
Whatever your fitness level, our informative handbook will help you train for the event gradually. Once you register, a coach is assigned to you. This Master of Preparation and Motivation will be there at every stage of your adventure, committed to your fundraising and training success. We will also help you organize training walks in your area where you can get used to long-distance walking and meet others who will be on the event with you.

We'll Teach You How to Fundraise
Each participant in the Breast Cancer 3-Day commits to raising at least $2,200 for the cause. You may have never raised that much money before, but don’t worry. Most walkers exceed their fundraising minimum by fifty percent, thanks to the support we offer and the generosity of donors. It will inspire you to no end to discover how eager friends, loved ones, co-workers and even strangers are to support you, emotionally and financially.

Where the Money Goes
Net proceeds benefit Susan G. Komen for the Cure, to fund breast cancer research, education, screening and treatment, as well as the National Philanthropic Trust Breast Cancer Fund, to provide a special field of interest fund for breast cancer initiatives.

Support Every Step of the Way
Along the route, pit stops will provide you with water, snacks, and toilets. At camp, you’ll have hot meals and hot showers, and a cozy tent to spend the night in. We also transport your gear when you’re out walking, so you don’t have to worry about hauling a heavy backpack on the route. The journey ends with an inspiring, joyous closing ceremony, where you’ll be greeted and congratulated by your family and friends.
