Only registered participants receive an official Avera Race shirt and swag. Children 16 and under receive a discounted registration fee of $20.
We discourage strollers and wagons on the race run routes. However, we do allow them on the walk routes. Please line up near the back of start line for safety purposes.
With the exception of service and emotional support animals, no pets are allowed.
The Avera Race takes place rain or shine. We do reserve the right to cancel in extreme circumstances. In that event, there will be no refunds and your registration fee will be used as a donation to benefit cancer patients and families served at Avera Cancer Institute.
The Avera Race is unable to process refunds for registrations. If you are unable to participate, you may transfer your registration to another individual, change your registration type to a Sideline Supporter, so that you still receive an official Avera Race packet or ask that your registration be converted to a donation. Should you wish to update your registration based on any of these options, please email us at AveraRace@Avera.org.
Medical professionals and volunteers will be available to assist in the event of an injury on the route. There will also be a first-aid station near the main stage staffed by a paramedic and an on-call ambulance.

Please call 605-322-PINK (7465) to schedule your Avera Race day mammogram or make an appointment at an Avera Breast Center location near you.
