Teams

Joining the Komen Atlanta Race for the Cure® as a team greatly enhances the fun for participants!

Any corporation, hospital, organization, church, co-op, school, friends, family, neighborhood or group can be a team. A team is a minimum of 10 people, and may consist of runners, walkers or spectators in any combination. Men and women can participate in both events - 5K run/walk and the 1-mile walk. There is no limit to the number of members you can have on your team. 

Preparing for race day as a team only adds to the Race experience. Here are a few ideas, and we hope you will also be inspired to create your own challenges and team activities:

• Large companies may organize inter-department competition for largest team or most donations pledged
• Write an article for your company, neighborhood or church newsletter to recruit team members, raise pledges and increase awareness about the Race
• Encourage team members to raise pledge money and be creative with the fundraising
• Design team apparel to be worn on Race day, including t-shirts and hats
• Make posters or banners to carry in the Race - feature your team name or celebrated breast cancer survivor
• Rally a cheering squad to support your team on Race day
• Use your own enthusiasm to promote the race
