In Honor. In Memory. Celebrate.
For most* Get Your Rear in Gear® events, teams and individual participants are invited to add a personalized sign to the Blue Mile. This section of the course will honor those diagnosed with any cancer, remember loved ones, and celebrate the important people in their lives. After the event, be sure to take your sign home with you!
Blue Mile signs can also be ordered through the blue button at the top of each event page. Orders must be placed at least 12 days prior to a scheduled event. After this time the order button will be disabled and additional orders will not be processed.
