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 walkedit 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 walkit leads, lifts and refuses to give up.

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

“For 18 years, she’s laced up her shoes, braved the heat, battled blisters, and walked thousands of miles for a world without breast cancer — a mission that became deeply personal when her mom was diagnosed more than 20 years ago,” Toni shared. 

Karen brings courage, grit and grace to every 3-Day mile she walks. She’s a dedicated leader of the No Mercy for Breast Cancer Team, a compassionate coach and a motivating force who inspires everyone around her to go the extra mile.  

“Her strength, compassion, and tireless energy bring hope to so many,” Toni added. “She’s the hug when you’re tired, the pep talk when you’re doubting and the reminder of why we’re here: to save lives, to protect the next generation and to end breast cancer.” 

Karen’s commitment, leadership and heart have made a lasting impact in the 3-Day community.  

Congratulations, Karen! You are so deeply appreciated.
