Team Contests

The 2011 Susan G. Komen Austin Affiliate Race for the Cure® is all about TEAMS! Our Race teams can change history—the history of breast cancer—by helping the Komen Austin Affiliate Race for the Cure reach record-breaking levels of Race participation and fundraising. A Race for the Cure team is a group of 2 or more participants who join together for the Race season to have fun and raise funds to empower the breast cancer movement.

Team Contests

Team contests help drive the friendly competition that makes each year better than the last! Numbers for the winners are calculated for registrations and confirmed donations received by a specific date. Team members may continue to register and raise funds up until November 30th. However, any registrations or funds collected after the cut-off date will not be considered for contest winner calculation purposes.
