Special Programs

Survivor Program

All survivors will be given, in addition to their race shirt, a pink shirt and hat that will make them easily identified as survivors. The morning of the race survivors will go to the survivor tent to receive ribbons for their hat. They will receive a ribbon for each year of their survivorship. Survivors are honored at the tent by signing up for door prizes, receiving a special survivor gift and items from our sponsors, and a free breakfast for the survivor and one guest..

Following the race, there will be a special survivor recognition program. All survivors are invited to gather behind the survivor tent immediately following the race to participate in the event. The program will consist of special music and recognition of the survivors by all participants of the race.

There will also be reserved survivor parking. You will receive more parking information with your race shirts and bib numbers.

Marriott Hotel Accommodations

Wouldn’t it be great to get a little extra sleep on race morning? Wouldn’t it be great to avoid dealing with parking race morning? And wouldn’t it be great to stay and have lunch and shop after the race but be able to take a shower and change first?

The Marriott at Town Center is the answer to all of these wishes!

The Marriott at Town Center will again offer Komen North Texas Race for the Cure® participants a special rate of $72 on Friday, June 2. Just mention that you are participating in the Komen Race for the Cure® when you make your reservation.

On race morning, roll out of bed, lace up your shoes, grab a cup of coffee and smile as you watch everyone else, looking sleepy, having to park.
