Race for Campus Safety - Salt Lake City, Utah
The Lauren McCluskey Foundation’s Race for Campus Safety is an annual community event held at the University of Utah on October 31, 2026. The event focuses on raising awareness and funds to improve how colleges and universities respond to relationship violence and stalking, and to advance campus safety, accountability, and student well being. Participants may run, walk, form teams, or volunteer.
The on site program includes educational booths and community resources, interactive activities such as inflatable obstacle courses and yard games, and scheduled mascot appearances from local teams and the university. Proceeds support the foundation’s research, advocacy, and programming aimed at improving campus environments. The event follows the 2025 edition, which welcomed more than 800 participants.
