Komen 3-Day® is coming to your community on Friday, November 4, through Sunday, November 6! Hundreds of people will walk 60 miles in a courageous display of commitment in the fight to end breast cancer. Net proceeds from the Komen 3-Day help support research, scientific programs and community-based breast health and education programs for women and men facing breast cancer. Walkers in the 3-Day® have trained for months and raised millions of dollars and now they need your support. You can help by cheering on the 3-Day walkers and showing your support. What that looks like depends on whether we will be walking directly by your business. Will We Be Walking By Your Business? How You Can Support the 3-Day Walkers

Day One: FridayHere’s the play-by-play of how the day will go.
The RouteThe day’s mileage will vary, from about 15 to 20 miles. You should aim for a pace of about 3 mph, spending approximately 10-15 minutes at each pit stop and 30 minutes at the lunch stop. Every 3-4 miles along the route, you will have an opportunity to stop, stretch, use the toilet and refill your water bottle. It’s important that you drink as much as you need along the way, to avoid dehydration. Most of these stops are a full pit stop, which includes snacks and where the Medical Crew will be available to help you with any medical problems you may encounter during the day. A grab & go is a smaller pit stop, which has toilets and drinks only. The midday pit stop will be your lunch stop. You can rest, relax, eat a healthy bag lunch and visit the Medical Crew, if necessary. All pit stops have designated opening and closing hours, timed to keep you moving along the route at a safe pace and to ensure that you complete your walking while it is still light out. If you reach a pit stop before it opens, you will be asked to stop and wait. If you reach a pit stop after it closes, you will be transported to the lunch stop (or camp, if you have already passed the lunch stop). A “caboose” will be following the last walker on the route. If you are falling behind schedule, you will be given the option to take a sweep or shuttle van to the next pit stop if you cannot increase your pace. This is to keep everyone moving along the route at a pace that ensures traffic support and sweep vans are available and ready to assist if needed. The route is well marked with arrows and instructional signage so all you need to do is follow the signs and the walkers in front of you! The route will open around 7:00 a.m. and close at 5:30 p.m., other conditions permitting. Exact mileage per day varies according to a number of factors such as pit stops, camp, as well as Opening and Closing site locations. The amount of daylight hours also impacts the total event mileage as it dictates the amount of time the route can be kept open safely. Here’s a general description of what you will experience along the way below. Friday: Approximately 20.1 miles Saturday: Approximately 18.4 miles Sunday: Approximately 15.2 miles View a map of the route. Please be courteous and follow instructions of, crew and staff at all times. They are here to make sure you have a safe and enjoyable experience. Abusive behavior will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Sweep VansIf you get injured, or are too exhausted to finish the day’s mileage, one of our “sweep & shuttle vans” can pick you up and take you to the next pit stop, where you can get medical attention, if you need it. If you are still unable to walk, a Lunch & Camp Shuttle will take you to the hotel. As the day comes to a close, sweep & shuttle vans will pick up any walkers who have fallen far behind and take them forward to the next stop, so that they arrive before that stop closes. This ensures that all walkers make it back to the hotel before dark. Please note: Sweep vans do not pick up walkers at pit stops or other route stops. Sweep & shuttle vans may only pick up walkers while they are out on the route. Meals and SnacksAt each pit stop there will be an assortment of snacks including clementines, bananas, potato chips, carrots, peanuts, pretzels and more (as supplies last). To drink, there will be water and sports drink provided (you must bring your own water bottle to fill). About halfway through each day’s mileage, you will have a nutritious lunch. You must show your 3-Day credential in order to receive all meals and services. If you prefer a vegetarian meal, please update your profile when you go through online check-in, and then let us know when you select your meal on the event. (If you have other special dietary needs, call a coach in advance at 800-996-3DAY or email so we can discuss your options.) SafetyOur first priority is always a safe event. To keep it safe, we need your cooperation. You must take responsibility for your own safety. In the spirit of kindness, please keep an eye out for the safety of others as well. Walking in a group is different than walking alone—you must be particularly aware of your movement and behavior to ensure that you are not endangering yourself or others. Please observe the following safety policies on the event.
WeatherWhatever the weather, the 3-Day generally continues. So please be prepared for walking in inclement weather. If the weather gets too severe, we always have a back-up plan for evacuating and relocating to make sure that everyone is housed safely. We will make every effort to hold the 3-Day events at the times, dates and locations specified. However, Susan G. Komen® holds the right to cancel or change the date or location of any 3-Day event, in its sole discretion, due to circumstances that may compromise the health or safety of the participants, including without limitation, unusually severe or extreme weather, fire, natural disaster, pandemic or riot. If a 3-Day event is cancelled or changed, we will take active steps to inform registered participants of such cancellation or change as soon as possible by email and/or text message, posting announcements online in the Participant Center at The3Day.org and on our social media channels. All registration fees and donations submitted to the 3-Day are non-transferable and non-refundable, even if the event is cancelled or changed. That means that once a donation is posted to a participant’s account it cannot be moved to another participant’s account for any reason, regardless of whether or not you’re able to participate in the event. Your donations will go directly to the cause, and we hope your donors will appreciate supporting Komen regardless of the cancellation or modification of the event. Medical EmergenciesAs with any emergency, call 911 first, if possible. Then, immediately report any medical emergencies to 3-Day staff (the 3-Day event hotline phone number will be clearly marked on your credential). We have a full crew of volunteer medical professionals along the route and at camp to assist you as well as access to local emergency facilities for more serious injuries. Medical Insurance Alcohol RestrictionsThe 3-Day and all of the cities we travel through work together to help create a safe and enjoyable experience for 3-Day participants and supporters. As the 3-Day route is on public property, it is subject to local laws. Local jurisdictions will be enforcing open-liquor laws in neighborhoods along the route. The safety of our participants is our number one priority. Cheering StationsPlease discourage your family and friends from driving along the route, as it can create a safety hazard. Instead, encourage them to show their support at a Cheering Station. The following Cheering Stations are safe, recommended places for your supporters to cheer you on along the route.
