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. You may also order a personalized back sign (see below). This is a great way to honor a breast cancer survivor with a personal touch!
