KENTUCKY OAKS SURVIVORS PARADE

The Survivors Parade is a moving tradition that celebrates breast and ovarian cancer survivors and encourages those still fighting their cancer battle as they march on Churchill Downs’ historic racetrack prior to the running of the Longines Kentucky Oaks. The 18th Survivors Parade will be presented on Friday, May 1, 2026, and will honor the 150 survivors and fighters who have been selected.

Registrations Are Now Open Until March 3!

Selections are chosen randomly and are not guaranteed. The full list of rules for the 2026 Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade can be found here: Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade rules (2026) >>
