What you need to know about the 2012 Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure

As we gear up for the Komen Global Race for the Cure tomorrow, June 2 in Washington, DC, we wanted to provide you with important information you need to know about everything that is going on.

Late Registration and Event Kit Pick up
If you registered online after Monday, May 21 or still need to register, come to the Hyatt Regency on Capitol Hill to register and pick up your Event Kit.  The location will be open until 6:30p ET today, June 1.  All you need to bring for your Event Kit is a copy of your registration confirmation email. If you are picking up for fellow participants or team members, please bring a copy of their registration confirmation as well. If you are registering late, please bring a completed registration form, and if you are registering fellow team members, please bring their completed and signed registration forms for each team member.
