No, participants may only register as a survivor if they themselves have been diagnosed with breast cancer and they wish to be recognized as a breast cancer survivor by receiving a SUrvivor t-shirt, Pink cap and Pink bib.
If you would like to participate in "Celebration Of" or in "Memory Of" a breast cancer survivor, please pick up a Zeta Tau Alpha back sign at any onsite registration, late registration or Race morning at the Registration table. This is a great way to honor a breast cancer survivor with a personal touch!
