Celebrating Survivors

Breast cancer survivors who are registered for the Race and wish to be recognized may pick up their complimentary pink cap and pink t-shirt, provided by Zeta Tau Alpha, at Capital Hill Mall during packet pick-up on May 13th and May 14th or on Race day at the Survivor Tent at the State Capitol. 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 at the Capital Hill Mall and on Race day.

The Breast Cancer Survivor Program is sponsored nationally by Zeta Tau Alpha.

Survivor Tent and Pink Ribbon Café

A light breakfast will be available for survivors and their guests in the Pink Ribbon Café on Roberts Street across from the Historical Society beginning at 8:00am on Race day.

The Pink Ribbon Café is sponsored by Van’s Thriftway of Helena. Coffee is provided by Starbucks.

Survivor Procession

New this year is a pre-Race Survivor Procession. All interested survivors should be gathered by 9:30am near the front Capitol entrance for a processional walk to the start line (see site map).
