Race Options

There are two options for participants wishing to walk or run in the Race for the Cure.

• 5K fun run/walk: The 5K Course is a single loop that winds through the streets of downtown Lubbock.
• 1Mile fun run/walk: Can’t see yourself running or walking three miles? Then this event is for you! Enjoy a scenic jog or stroll around the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center.

The Lubbock Area Race for the Cure does not offer a competitive timed run. A large timing clock will be visible at the finish line.

A Tribute to Breast Cancer Survivors

Breast cancer survivors who wish to be recognized may pick up their complimentary pink cap provided by Zeta Tau Alpha at the Think Pink Café located inside the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center. The Think Pink Café will open at 6:45am. Survivor activities include a breakfast provided by Dr. Rob Schmid, group photo and recognition ceremony. We would also like to invite participants to recognize those special people who have been touched by breast cancer. “In Memory of” and “In Celebration of” back signs will be available for all Race participants.
