Join Us for a 3-Day Journey to Help End Breast Cancer

Each year, the Susan G. Komen® 3-Day events bring together thousands of passionate people united by one powerful mission: a world without breast cancer, for this generation and the next. 

Over the course of three unforgettable days, participants walk up to 60 miles, and share stories of remembrance, survival and hope, after months of dedicated fundraising to reach their goals.  

The Komen 3-Day events, held in Denver (Aug. 1-3), New England (Aug. 15-17), Dallas/Fort Worth (Oct.24-26) and San Diego (Nov. 14-16) are more than just walks – they are transformative journeys that begin the moment you register 

A dedicated coach will guide and support you as your train for your walk, mentor you through your fundraising efforts and keep you motivated every step of the way. The 3-Day is also more inclusive than ever, offering three distance options. While many choose the full three days and 60 miles, others choose the 1-Day (20 miles) or 2-Day (40 miles) options. 

The 3-Day “Pink Bubble” community is made up of walkers, crew members and volunteers, all bonded over the same purpose of ending breast cancer forever. Throughout the event, you’ll have the chance to form lifelong connections and experience powerful moments, like the touching Honor Ceremony. 

The Opening Ceremony sets the stage for the 3-Day. You’ll feel the passion and dedication that fuels our cause, and as you walk, you’ll see beautifully curated pink outfits that tell the stories of survivors and honor loved ones. The Pink Bubble atmosphere is filled with positivity, hope and unwavering support. 

Nikki participated in her first 3-Day in Dallas in 2022 after completing treatment for breast and ovarian cancer and was blown away by the support of the community.I love the Pink Bubble and all that it means,” she said. That year, we walked through east Dallas, which is where I live. We walked by the lake where I cried after my diagnosis. We walked past the facility where I was diagnosed with cancer, the hospital where I had my surgery and my oncologist’s office. I finally got to give myself the closure I needed. I walked past all those places that were connected to so much sadness and was able to create a happy memory and celebrate all that I’ve been able to do. 

It’s an experience you’ll never forget. Along the 3-Day route, you’ll encounter people who’ll make you laugh, cry and motivate you to keep going. By the time you reach the Closing Ceremony, you’ll be overwhelmed with a deep sense of gratitude and hope for the future.  

Since it began in 2003, the Komen 3-Day series has united more than 500,000 participants and raised more than $915 million to support cutting-edge research, improved access to care and advocacy efforts to amplify the voice of the breast cancer community. 

So, are you ready to take the first step? Register today through Feb. 8. We’d love to have you join us at one of our 3-Day events.

Choosing Your Path: How You’ll Participate in the Komen 3-Day

The Susan G. Komen 3-Day® is a dedicated community of fundraisers and advocates who take on the challenge of a 60-mile, three-day journey to end breast cancer. Designed for those committed to Komen’s vision of a world without breast cancer, the 3-Day is a tough yet deeply moving and rewarding experience. 

The 2025 3-Day series includes events in Denver (Aug. 1-3), New England (Aug. 15-17), Dallas/Fort Worth (Oct.24-26) and San Diego (Nov. 14-16). The 3-Day is more inclusive than ever, offering three different distance options. While many participants take on the full 60 miles, others opt for one- or two-day alternatives.

Whether you are a 3-Day veteran with multiple events under your belt or a first-time walker like Kimian Benitez, who participated in the San Diego 3-Day solo last fall, there’s a good chance that after walking once, you’ll want to return. 

“I don’t know anyone or have anyone close to me who has gone through breast cancer, but how I think about it the money I raised and the effort I put in could go toward finding the cure, whether for me, tomorrow, or for someone I know and love,” Kimian shared. 

No matter how far you walk20, 40 or all 60 milesevery step and each dollar raised matters. We invite you to join us at the 3-Day. Bring your family, friends and co-workers and walk with us to save lives and end breast cancer. 

The Komen 3-Day series has welcomed more than 500,000 participants since it began in 2003 and raised more than $915 million. Visit the 3-Day to learn more.  

The 2024 Susan G. Komen 3-Day Season Was One to Remember!

After 21 years of the Susan G. Komen 3-Day®, we’re looking back at 2024 with tremendous joy and gratitude. This year, the Pink Bubble gathered in four cities, boasting a total of 3,900 walkers and 970 crew members who raised a staggering $13.2 million in the fight against breast cancer. For the very first time, walkers could partake in 20, 40 or 60 miles in each city where we made incredible connections, remembered those we walk for at the Honor Ceremony, and celebrated our momentous achievement at the Finish Line Festival. It is because of you that 2024 has taken us a step closer to finding the cures for breast cancer. 

First and foremost, we would like to thank each and every one of you who joined us as a walker, crew, volunteer, or supporter. With each step, donation or hours crewed, you have provided critical funding for research, care, and advocacy so that we lose less of the people we love to breast cancer. We would also like to thank our National Presenting Sponsor Bank of America who awarded our top fundraisers and raffle winners with over $33,000 for their 2025 fundraising! Lastly, thank you to our National Series Sponsors XPO, Walgreens, Mohawk, and Nature’s Bounty for showing up in our fight. From transporting those incredible massage chairs, to offering soft cushions to sit on at lunch and incredible giveaways at Finish Line Festival, everyone at the Komen 3-Day is grateful for your support.

That being said, let’s recount the incredible 2024 3-Day® season hosted by the lovely Cati Diamond Stone, Beverly Kruse and Lori Maris!

New England

We kicked off the 2024 3-Day season on August 23rd in historic Boston where 800 walkers and 190 crew members of the Pink Bubble gathered to participate in the momentous event! Together, the walkers and crew raised a total of $2.3 million in the campaign against breast cancer. Walkers spent three days enjoying sunshine along the Boston route, experiencing historic sites, beautiful suburbs, and unique landmarks that make the city so special. We honored our New England 3-Day Top Fundraisers and celebrated our Crew Impact Award winners and Milestone Award winner for their incredible achievements and contributions to the breast cancer cause. Bank of America hosted a raffle to reward five randomly selected participants with a $250 donation for their 2025 fundraising efforts!

Denver

From the coast to the mountains, the 3-Day made its way to the Mile High City for September 27–29, where the Pink Bubble collectively raised $2.3 million in the name of breast cancer treatment and essential services. 700 walkers and 220 crew came together to experience the scenic Denver route with a day in Boulder. In Boulder, walkers got to experience a never-before-seen route through the beautiful city with unbelievable views of the Rocky Mountains.

Dallas/Fort Worth

Next up, the Pink Bubble headed down south to the Lone Star State on November 1–3 to paint Dallas/Fort Worth pink! Together, 625 walkers and 220 crew raised a total of $2.2 million for breast cancer research, community health, patient care and advocacy. Through rain and shine on the route, our courageous walkers persisted with smiles on their faces and passion in their hearts. We also took a moment to recognize long-time 3-Day walkers Ralph and George, who hung up their walking shoes this year after many years with the 3-Day. In the days following the Dallas/Fort Worth 3-Day, Ralph passed away and the Pink Bubble will continue to honor and celebrate his life.

We celebrated the incredible Top Fundraisers including our Top Fundraising Team, STEPS, whose 84 members contributed an astounding $170,000 to the breast cancer cause.

We wrapped up the 2024 3-Day season in San Diego on November 15–17, where 1,850 walkers and 340 crew members raised $6.4 million!

We spent Friday evening celebrating our Top Fundraisers, Crew Impact Award winner, and Milestone Award winner before Bank of America raffled off a $250 donation to five more participants for their 2025 fundraising efforts!

36 participants were adorned with gold lanyards after participating in the 3-Day in all four cities this year!
