Survivors are the stars of the Komen St. Louis Race for the Cure and an inspiration to us all! We will celebrate breast cancer survivors at the 15th Annual Komen St. Louis Race through these features:
Survivor Pavilion
Breast cancer survivors who register for the Race are invited to bring one registered guest to the Survivor Pavilion to:
- Enjoy a complimentary breakfast, conversation and fellowship with other survivors
- Visit the photobooth and take home a special photo memory
- Relax with a mini massage
- Register to win great prizes in several survivors-only raffles
Race Day Events
6:30 am – Survivor Pavilion Opens 7:25 am – Survivor Procession begins, ending at the Main Stage for a Survivor Serenade and group photo

Pedicabs for a Few Lucky Survivors
Crossing the finish line can provide such a sense of accomplishment. Unfortunately, some breast cancer survivors are faced with physical challenges keeping them from walking the full Race course. St. Louis 3Wheel Taxi is joining us once again and donating their services to allow some of our survivors the opportunity to cross the finish line in style…by riding in a pedicab. Space is limited; we are accepting applications for those who are interested. We will hold a random drawing from eligible applications to determine the lucky
survivors that will ride in style! Click here for application.
