Race for the Cure

Join NBC5 at the Komen Tarrant County Race for the Cure on Saturday, April 11 in Downtown Fort Worth.  For 16 years, the Race for the Cure annual 5k walk/ run has been taking steps to raise money to fund local breast cancer programs and to help find a cure for breast cancer.

The Komen Tarrant County Race for the Cure is the single largest charitable 5K in Tarrant County. Up to 75 percent of net proceeds are used for local programs, with 25 percent used to fund cutting-edge breast cancer research. Komen Race for the Cure is the largest series of 5K runs/fitness walks in the world.

If you are not registered for the race come out and support the contestants on race day. There will be a perfect spot to watch the race and cheer on your friends and family. If you can’t make it to the race you can still make a donation online at www.komentarrant.org. Your donation provides women and men in Tarrant County with services that can save lives.
