Join the 3-Day and Help Us End Breast Cancer

Survivor procession at the 2025 San Diego 3-Day.

Each year, the Susan G. Komen 3-Day® brings together thousands of dedicated people nationwide who are united by one shared goal: help end breast cancer.  

In the months of fundraising leading up the 3-Day, participants help raise critical funds. Since 2003, over 500,000 participants have raised more than $927 million to save lives, expand community programs, improve access to patient care and fuel groundbreaking research, therapies and treatment.  

The impact created by the 3-Day community over the years has been extraordinary, and this year we’re focused on pushing that progress even further. 

Why the 3-Day 

The 3-Day is a powerful journey that spans three unforgettable days where participants walk up to 60 miles. It’s a challenge that reflects personal commitment and collective impact, and it’s unforgettable. Along the 3-Day route, participants receive community support from residents and businesses who line the streets in appreciation. And through each step, participants share stories of survivorship, remembrance and hope for a world without breast cancer.

For Monica G., a newer participant of the San Diego 3-Day, walking was a way to honor the family members and friends in her life who have been diagnosed with breast cancer. She walked on her own, motivated by her desire to take action in a space that leaves many feeling helpless. 

“I can only imagine what treatment must have been like for them,” Monica shared. “I felt that the least I could do was help raise money to support the breast cancer community and challenge myself to do something meaningful. 

Ways to Participate 

In the upcoming season, Komen 3-Day events will take place in Boston (Aug. 21-23), Dallas/Fort Worth (Oct. 23-25), San Diego (Nov. 13-15) and Tampa Bay (Feb. 19-21, 2027). 

The 3-Day is flexible and inclusive of all fitness levels, with multiple 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.

From the day you register, participants are supported by a dedicated coach who provides fundraising resources, training guidance and encouragement every step of the way. 

The 3-Day is more than just a series of endurance walks. It’s an experience known to change lives and keep participants coming back year after year. 

The Pink Bubble 

At the heart of the 3-Day is the “Pink Bubble”— the energetic, creative and welcoming community of walkers, crew members and volunteers, who strive to end breast cancer with every step they take. The Pink Bubble is known for its touching pink-clad tributes honoring survivors and loved ones throughout the 3-Day weekends, and for its unwavering support, deep connection and compassion.  It’ something you must experience to truly appreciate.  

The Pink Bubble is a place where strangers become teammates, and by the time you reach the Finish Line, you’ll be moved to do it all over again.

Looking Back at a Remarkable 2025 3-Day

2025 San Diego 3-Day

In 2025, the Susan G. Komen 3-Day® was shaped not by perfect conditions, but by unwavering commitment. Across four cities, thousands of walkers and crew members faced unexpected challenges and changing routes, yet the Pink Bubble met every moment with resilience, compassion and a shared determination to help end breast cancer forever.

Nearly 4,640 walkers and crew members showed up with one shared purpose. Rain fell, routes shifted and plans evolved, but the strength of the 3-Day community never wavered. By year’s end, that determination had raised more than $12 million to support breast cancer research, community health programs and policy advocacy.

Denver: Where the Journey Began

The 2025 3-Day season began in Denver where walkers set the tone for the year ahead. In August, participants walked 60, 40 or 20 miles over the course of three days in the Mile High City among mountain views and nearby Boulder. Together, 610 walkers and crew raised nearly $1.3 million, launching the season with momentum.

New England: Building Strength Along the Way

The journey continued over the summer in New England and was nothing short of extraordinary. With 930 dedicated walkers and crew members, the community raised $2.4 million for breast cancer research, community health, patient care and advocacy.

Dallas/Fort Worth: Hope Through The Rain

In Texas, the Pink Bubble filled the streets of Dallas and Fort Worth with determination and gratitude. Even when the rain led to some minor scheduling adjustments, the Pink Bubble’s energy remained strong. Together, 800 walkers and crew members raised $2.1 million. Each dollar raised and each story shared moves the 3-Day community one step closer to a world without breast cancer.

San Diego: The Season’s Powerful Final Chapter

The 2025 season came to a close in San Diego and it did so in unforgettable fashion. A powerful rainstorm reshaped the November weekend, but it never shook the resolve of the community. What began as a hopeful 60-mile journey became a defining display of grit, teamwork and heart.

In the end, more than 1,900 walkers and 330 crew members celebrated raising $6.5 million. There were tears, cheers and the shared understanding that this San Diego 3-Day will be remembered for decades.

We Never Give Up

The 2025 3-Day wasn’t just about miles walked—it was about standing together when circumstances changed and pushing forward anyway.

From mountains to coastlines, rainstorms to sunshine, the Pink Bubble proved once again that this community doesn’t just walk—it leads, lifts and refuses to give up.

And together, we’re closer than ever to a world without breast cancer.
