Interested in a tutu?

This year, we are devastated that we cannot sell red tutus to our virtual participants due to the complexity of shipping and handling. In-person participants can purchase a tutu the day of the race (limited quantity). You can also show your support by wearing past Red Tutu Trot or Cardiac on Campus clothing, buying a tutu online, or wearing anything red!

Why You Should Run & Our History

Cardiac on Campus is a student organization at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It was founded in 2016 after Brittany Derynda's 20-year-old brother passed away from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) after completing a half-marathon. Our organization attempts to shed light on SCA prevention and cardiac health as a whole. For 90% of its victims, SCA is fatal. Increasing bystander CPR and AED knowledge is our best solution for lowering this grim statistic. Help Cardiac on Campus raise awareness about SCA and funds to put on free CPR and AED certification classes! Thanks for your time and support!
