Sleep in for the Cure®
Will you be out of town on Race Day? Or, perhaps you work nights and getting up early on a Sunday morning is not a possibility. Or maybe you just want to sleep in on Race day? Sleep In for the Cure® is the perfect way to show your support for the Race and the fight against breast cancer. Pay the current registration fee and be sure to also select the “I’ll Sleep In for the Cure®” box during the registration process. If you’re on a team you’ll pick up your Race T-shirt from your Team Captain. If you’re not on a team, your T-shirt will be available for pick up at either of the preregistration events (see below for more information). Please note: the Sleep In shirt is the same as the Race T-shirt and will not be mailed.
Optional "Chip" Timing
You choose if you want to be officially timed or not. You have the option of paying a nominal fee to cover the cost of your chip timing, or of timing yourself with your own stop watch, or not even worrying about your time, and just running or walking for fun -- the choice is yours.
