Bus for the Cure

Komen Aspen has partnered with the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) to create a Bus for the Cure service that will offer Free bus fare to down valley Race participants who show either their on-line registration receipt or Race bib to the bus driver.  Save gas, skip traffic and parking fees and Bus for the Cure compliments of RFTA.



I Vote for the Cure™

More than 90 percent of voters want the federal government to pay more attention to breast cancer research, screening, and early detection and access to quality care for all. Therefore, Komen Aspen is challenging presidential candidates this election season to address three achievable goals that will save lives and help end breast cancer forever:  increase research investment, fund the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection program, and ensure quality treatment for all. A voter registration booth will be available at this year’s Race for the Cure event. Visit www.IVotefortheCure.org.
