Susan G Komen For the Cure

Love the race and the course, but please (and this is just a safety issue), have the runners line up in the front, walkers and strollers in the back.
Have done it before and will do it again!

For my beautiful sister Linda Sheryl Osaki-​Clapp, she was like a second mother to me. Always remembered and always loved.

First time doing the SD Race for the Cure, & enjoyed every minute. Well organized (or as organized as a walk with over 12,000 people can get), lots of booths for free swag and vendors that participate… Since there are so many people my start time was actually 15−20minutes later than the official one. If you plan on running I would definitely recommend starting at the very front. The sheer amount of people leads to heavy congestion all through Balboa Park until you’re actually on the 163 N freeway, so I just had a leisurely stroll. Such an uplifting experience to see so many supporters and survivors alike, would definitely participlate again.

Race for the Cure is another one of those community events that is fun, educational, and inspiring! There are tons of people, entertainment, and swag including «pink» gear (i took home a cool headband/​bandana). The 5k is through Balboa Park, and you even get to run on northbound 163! That was probably the coolest part, but then that steep climb up the off ramp… The energy is really great, and you see some enthusiastic supporters sporting their «Save the Tatas» pink.

Have done this for the past two years. It really is a wonderful event. I recommend this to anyone. Did the 3Day (I call it my One and a Half) last year. I would not give it 5 stars.

I have been a participant and supporter for several years now. I have a close friend who is a breast cancer survivor and an auntie and friends who were diagnosed with breast lumps.
I love this event!!! You feel empowered when you’re surrounded by so much positive energy and emotions. Lots of people dress the «pink» part and it’s an unbelievable sight. It saddens me to see how many people have lost lives due to breast cancer, but participating encourages me to do more on my part to help!
Lots of vendors attend and it’s a great way to become educated and involved. It was awesome that so many businesses and organizations partake in an event that involves 15K people.
This year we decided to run the race and we got pretty good timing. The last half mile was strenuous since there was a steep incline and participants were dropping off like flies!!! Such a great feeling after accomplishing a great run and helping a great cause!!!
