The first Race for the Cure event was organized in Dallas, Texas in 1983, and today, Race for the Cure is the largest series of 5-kilometer (5 K or 3.1 mile) runs in the United States. Proceeds from the Race for the Cure series fund both national research efforts and local breast cancer initiatives. A majority of the proceeds fund local community programs related to breast health education, screening and treatment and are based on specific area needs determined by local Komen Foundation representatives. A minimum of 25% of the proceeds from each race is earmarked for national breast cancer research and project grants.
