Give Cancer the Boot Survivorship 5K and 1-Mile Walk

The event is open to all adults, kids, runners, walkers, healthcare providers, patients, survivors, caregivers and supporters.

At Mays Cancer Center, we define a "cancer survivor" as anyone diagnosed with cancer from the time of diagnosis and beyond, whether still in treatment or cancer-free. 

For volunteer opportunities, please email gctb@uthscsa.edu. 

You must register by March 15, 2025 to be guaranteed a shirt.

Finisher medals are guaranteed for the first 750 participants who cross the finish line.

Dogs are not allowed on university properties except for a “service animal” as defined under Titles II and III of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Yes, free parking is available in the cancer center's parking garage.

Cash will not be accepted. You can register on your phone at Packet Pickup and the Day of the Race. Volunteers will be available to assist you.

Please contact gctb@uthscsa.edu for more information.

We offer a $20 Sleepwalker registration option that lets you support the race from the comfort of your home—no running required—while still receiving a commemorative race shirt and medal. You must pick up your shirt and medal at Packet Pick Up on April 4. Shipping is not available.

This is a rain-or-shine event.

Packet pickup will be the day before, on April 4, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Only the 5k will be chip-timed. 

1. Mobile mammography will provide routine mammogram screenings available in 2D & 3D
2. Some health insurance(s) may require a referral (order) from a provider for a 3D mammogram screening. It will be the patient’s responsibility to obtain prior to the event date.All women who register must be 40 years of age and older without any breast issues.
3. Financial assistance will be available for uninsured women.
4. Anyone registering for a mammogram screening appointment will receive a text or email notification of an “estimated bill”. By law every hospital system must present a patient with this notification in case their health insurance does not cover the claim for the exam. It is merely an estimate of charges, not a bill.
5. Anyone who registers for a mammogram will receive an opportunity to register for “MyChart” either by text or email. This App will allow patients to manage their mammogram appointments and read their mammogram reports. We encourage all the ladies to register. Everyone will be called with the results and receive a letter in the mail with the final results.

Q: When should I expect my mammogram results?
You should receive your results within three business days.

Q: How will I receive my results?
You will receive immediate results through the MyChart app, a phone call, and final results will be sent by mail.

Q: What is MyChart?
MyChart is an app or online patient portal that allows you to access your appointment information, mammography results and more.

Q: How do I sign up for MyChart?
After you register for an appointment, you will receive a text or email with a link to register for MyChart. If you have not received this link or are having issues activating your MyChart account, please contact our team at 210-358-7020 for assistance.

Q: Why did I receive an estimated bill?
Upon registering for an appointment, individuals will receive a text or email notification concerning an “estimated bill.” This estimate is provided while health insurance verification is being processed by the benefits team. It’s important to note that this is not an official bill. If there are any questions regarding the estimate, individuals are encouraged to reach out to Billing Services at 210-358-3260.

Q: Is a referral from my Primary Care Physician (PCP) required?
Some insurance plans may require a referral. We will contact your insurance provider to confirm if a referral is required.

Q: My insurance requires a referral. How do I send my referral?
Please obtain the referral as soon as possible by your PCP. Before your appointment, you can send your referral to mobile.mammography@uhtx.com. Our team will confirm once the referral has been received.

Q: I received a letter stating I need to report for additional imaging. What does this mean?
The results of your initial mammogram need further evaluation. This doesn’t necessarily indicate a serious issue, but it’s important to have it checked promptly. Please call 210-358-7020 to schedule a follow-up appointment.
