LIVESTRONG Challenge San Jose

The LIVESTRONG Challenge Series is the signature fundraising event for LIVESTRONG. For the past thirteen years, the Series has raised over $60 million for the fight against cancer. In 2010, the LIVESTRONG Challenge Series will visit four cities across the U.S.: Seattle, WA; San Jose, CA; Philadelphia, PA; and Austin, TX.

In San Jose, on July 10 - 11, the LIVESTRONG Challenge takes place in downtown San Jose at the Center for Performing Arts. This wonderful venue hosts our LIVESTRONG Village, a health and wellness expo with our non-profit, local, and national vendors who provide samples of their products and previews of their new merchandise, and our multi-distant bike ride with 10, 50, 65, and 100 mile options. In the spirit of LIVESTRONG's mission to inspire and empower people affected by cancer, we invite children in active treatment to participate in the LIVESTRONG Challenge via pedicab. Their enthusiasm is contagious as they ride among the riders, reminding us all what we're truly fighting for.

One of the highlights of the LIVESTRONG Challenge is the "yellow mile" where participants are welcomed home by friends and family, while being cheered on by volunteers and staff for their personal accomplishments. Surrounded by the color which has inspired and empowered Lance and millions of others, each cancer survivor is given a yellow rose when they cross the finish line to commemorate their survivorship. And we strive to make sure that each participant feels as recognized as the first finisher.

Afterward, finishers, along with their friends and family, are encouraged to hang out, enjoy the food and entertainment provided at the post-event party and share stories of your LIVESTRONG experience with other participants.
