REGISTER NOW FOR THE 2012 SUSAN G. KOMEN NORTH JERSEY RACE FOR THE CURE®
Approximately 10,000 people (runners, walkers, visitors, volunteers and staff) are expected to be at the Essex County South Mountain Recreation Complex in West Orange, NJ for the Fifth Annual Komen North Jersey Race for the Cure. Race Day activities will include a 5k timed run, a 5K walk and a 1.5 mile walk. There will be a special Survivor Tent, Survivor Procession and Ceremony, an Expo area with free give-aways, an I AM THE CURE® booth to learn more about breast self-awareness, food, a Komen for the Cure merchandise tent, and a Kids for the Cure® area with face painting, a Moon Bounce, sand art, clowns and a coloring station. Throughout the day, the ultimate American show band The Infernos will be performing from the Main Stage. After the Race, participants may want to stick around—there is plenty to do nearby with Codey Arena, the Turtle Back Zoo and Safari Mini Golf easily accessible from the Race site.
The Susan G. Komen North Jersey Race for the Cure brings together thousands of women, men and children from northern New Jersey and beyond to raise funds that support life-saving education, screening and treatment services to uninsured and underinsured men and women in the Affiliate’s 9-county service region (Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Morris, Passaic, Somerset, Sussex, Union and Warren counties). Since its founding in 1997, Komen North Jersey has awarded over $13 million in local community grants, and has directed approximately $5.9 million to the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program for breast cancer research.
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN ONLINE. For additional information, to register, volunteer, start a team, or make a donation, visit www.komennorthjersey.org/race, or call 908-277-2904, ext. 14.
