The Lauren McCluskey Foundations Race for Campus Safety is an annual, community-driven event dedicated to raising awareness and funds to improve how colleges and universities respond to relationship violence and stalking. Inspired by Lauren McCluskeys life and legacy, the race brings together students, families, advocates, and campus communities in a shared commitment to meaningful, lasting change. Participants of all ages are invited to run, walk, or volunteer in support of the foundations mission to advance campus safety, accountability, and student well-being.

More than just a race, the event offers opportunities for learning, connection, and collective action. Attendees can explore educational booths and valuable community resources, enjoy interactive activities like inflatable obstacle courses and yard games, and connect with others who share a commitment to safer campuses. Special mascot appearances are also planned, including Bumble the Bee from the Salt Lake Bees, Leo and Cleo from Real Salt Lake, and the University of Utahs famed mascot, SWOOPall currently scheduled to attend! Proceeds directly support the foundations research, advocacy, and programming to help make campuses safer nationwide.
