Cover Chicago in Pink with the Second Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure® on Mother's Day

On Mother's Day, May 11, 2014, Chicago's beautiful lakefront and city streets will be covered in thousands of pink breast cancer fighters and supporters for the Susan G. Komen Chicagoland Race for the Cure® in Grant Park. The event will honor those who have battled breast cancer and further the mission of the Chicagoland Area Affiliate of Susan G. Komen® -- to save lives and end breast cancer forever. Last year's first Chicagoland Race for the Cure on Mother's Day saw nearly 10,000 participants and raised over $1 million dollars.

Registration for the Mother's Day Race for the Cure is currently open and participants can enjoy one of the few 10k races offered in Chicago. Other race options include a 5k run, a 5k walk and a 1-mile fun walk. Festivities will kick-off at 7:00 a.m. on Mother's Day with special performances, fun events for the entire family, and the traditional survivors' parade. This year, Wade Miquelon, CFO and President International of Deerfield based Walgreen's will hold the position of 2014 Race Chair.

Now through Saturday, May 10th the cost will be as follows: $40 adult runners; $35 adult walkers; $30 for youth (17 and under) runners; $25 for youth walkers; $35 Sleep In for the Cure; free for volunteers.

Race day registration will be $40.00 for all participants.
