About
Taking place in 14 cities in the USA, the 3-Day is a series of three-day, 60-mile walk that raise millions of dollars for breast cancer research, education, and community health programs. 3-Day participants raise a minimum of $2,300 and walk an average of 20 miles a day, educating thousands of people about breast health. Walkers must be at least 16 years old or be accompanied by an adult. Crew members must be at least 18 years old, and volunteers must be at least 10 years old. The Komen 3-Day supports its participants before the event by providing coaches, training assistance, fundraising advice and a personal fundraising webpage.
The net proceeds fund breast cancer research, education, and community outreach programs. Since its inception, more than $500 million has been raised.
