WHY
By volunteering with Komen Austin and Marathon for the Cure®, you are also supporting the 26 Miles for 26 Charities philanthropy program of the Austin Marathon. The program provides Central Texas non-profits with the opportunity to advance community awareness while raising money to support their mission.
By helping to make the Austin Marathon a successful community event, our full team of volunteers, staff and supporters also help create economic opportunities for the City of Austin and Central Texas by way of the number of runners and guests visiting Austin for the race.
