De-FEET Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk

The Mama Mare Breast Cancer Foundation's 7th Annual De-FEET Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk will take place on Saturday, April 1, 2017 starting and ending at Bar Anticipation (Bar A) in Lake Como, NJ! 

This event is dedicated in loving memory of Mary Ellen Pernice (AKA "Mama Mare"), Cindy Abrams, and Jill Lecorchick.  We are looking forward to having everyone from our last six 5K events back for another amazing year, as well as new registrants and new teams to join in on what promises to be a great experience!

The De-FEET Breast Cancer 5K Run/Walk is a scenic, lakeside and flat 5K course on closed local roads through Lake Como, Belmar and Spring Lake, NJ.

Our event will feature great pre-race and post-race activities at Bar Anticipation and so much more! 

All 5K proceeds will go towards our mission in supporting breast cancer patients and their families in addition to funding biomedical research for the cure.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact [email protected]

Please Note:  Fundraising for our 5K is optional for individuals signing up, but if you would like to set up your own fundraising page please select yes and complete the necessary information when asked during registration.  If you set up a fundraising page (for individual registrants not on teams), the individual with the highest fundraising total on the 5K website (minimum: $400) will win our individual fundraising award! Any off-line donations mailed to us and received after March 13th will be entered into the system, but for award printing/planning purposes they won't go towards the top individual fundraiser award.

TEAM REGISTRATION OPTION

Online Team Pre-Registration (includes $5 discount per person) by March 13th, 2017:

$25 per person (includes: 5K Entry fee, 5K T-shirt, race packet, post-race celebration & BBQ!)

Note: This is the only team registration option as team registration closes on March 13th (there are NO on-site registration options for teams).

*PLEASE READ:   To be considered a team, all teams MUST fundraise $400 or more  and MUST have at least 8 registrants (all by the deadline of March 13th, 2017).

**Team Captains are required to be 18 years or older due to the fundraising requirements**

Each team captain must set up a fundraising page on this site, and by March 13th the page must show funds raised of at least $400 or higher.  During registration the team captain will be prompted to create a team fundraising page (required for team captains) which will require them to create their team fundraising page. Their team name will pre-populate as the fundraising team page name.  The team captain should then set a goal of $400 or higher when creating the team fundraising page and put any information about the team and their fundraising efforts in the description box. Any donations in the team captain's name or to the team name will all go toward's the team's fundraising goal of $400 or more.

Each 5K team member that joins a team is encouraged to join the team's fundraising page (but not required) to help the team captain raise the required fundraising minimum of $400 (or higher).  Your team captain has already created the team fundraising page, and any time after registering you can simply join this page as an individual fundraiser (Become a Fundraiser link under the donation section.  Look for your team's name on the drop-down to join).

Team members don't have to raise $400 (or higher) each.  This is a TEAM REQUIREMENT for the TEAM, not a REQUIREMENT per TEAM MEMBER.

If the team doesn't fundraise a minimum of $400 AND have at least 8 registrants on the team by March 13, 2017 the team captain will be charged the additional amount to reach these minimums (as agreed to on the TEAM DECLARATION COMMITMENT FORM).

FOR ALL INFORMATION AND RULES related to the TEAM REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS please view the TEAM DECLARATION COMMITMENT FORM attached in this section.

Each team captain MUST complete the TEAM DECLARATION COMMITMENT FORM (see attached in this section) and email (scan in as attachment) the form within 3 days of registering as team captain (see form for all information).

Completed forms can be emailed (scan in as attachment) to [email protected]

A member of the 5K committee will contact the team captain soon after the team captain starts a 5K team to ensure each team captain is aware of the team requirements.  A copy of the TEAM DECLARATION COMMITMENT FORM will also be attached to the email with a reminder to complete/send within 3 days of staring a 5K team.

NOTE: Any online donations to the fundraising page will appear automatically on the page. Off-line donations (i.e. checks or money orders only made out to Mama Mare Breast Cancer Foundation) must be mailed to our foundation directly. We will add any off-line donations to your team's fundraising page within approximately 5 days after receiving the donation check.  Any off-line donations mailed to us and received after March 13th will be entered into the system but for award printing/planning purposes they won't go towards the team fundraiser awards (Top 3 totals amounts).

NOTE: Starting after 10:00 pm on 3/1/2017, our registration system won't allow any additional 5K teams to be created for this year's event. This won't affect in any way all of the existing 5K teams that were previously created before this date and time by their team captain. This won't affect any participants who would still like to register and join an existing team by our pre-registration deadline of March 13, 2017. This won't affect any other registration details as described here on our 5K registration website which includes our 5K pre-registration deadline for both indiviudal participants and team participants by March 13, 2017. This will ONLY affect the ability to create a new 5K team for this year's event after the 5K team creation deadline of 3/1/2017 (10:00 PM).
