No date has yet been revealed for next year's race, but entries have opened just days after the 2013 event, which attracted more than 11,000 runners, including hundreds for Coppafeel! Hooters.
CoppaFeel! was founded in October 2009 by Kristin Hallenga, who was misdiagnosed twice with breast cancer at the age of 23 and who now lives with secondary breast cancer.
She said the charity was "over the moon" to be chosen.
"Let's hope we can get hundreds more Hooters on board and many thousands more people hearing our life-saving message."
Organiser Running High's charity director Mel Taylor said: "The whole team have such an incredible energy about them, bringing something really special and unique to the Bath Half and you can't help but be blown away by their presence."
There will be other official charities and causes are urged to ring Mrs Taylor on 422255 to discuss possibilities.
You can enter next year's race at www.bathhalf.co.uk for £40 until April 3, when the price rises to £42.

“If I could have done, I would have run with a family tree sewn on my back, to publicise the RUH's under-publicised family history screening programme for breast cancer. It's the only way of identifying younger women at high risk, and hospitals don't even try to tell the relatives of those they diagnose (at least, not round here). If grown men can run half-marathons dressed as boobs, we can all make the effort to ask our local GPs' clinics to advertise this vital service, and tell our friends and neighbours about it. The RUH's page about is here: http://tinyurl.com/cbh7v9g Every woman has the right to know there's help for those who most need it.”
