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.
