Athlete's Village

Race day isn’t just about crossing the finish line—it’s about community, celebration, and honoring every breast cancer journey. After you run, walk, or cheer, the Athlete’s Village is your place to gather, refuel, and celebrate survivorship.

Start your morning with a latte or cold brew from the Vagabond Coffee Truck, or grab a sizzling slider from Ted’s Montana Grill fresh off the grill. Stop by the Official DONNA Merchandise Tent for new gear, or capture your finish line magic with Shrunk 3D. (These activations are for purchase, and every dollar raised supports the programs of The DONNA Foundation.)

You’ll also find plenty of free treats to enjoy—Keurig Dr Pepper is keeping everyone hydrated, there will be snacks to keep you fueled, and Champion Brands will be serving up celebratory beverages post-race.
