Race for Campus Safety - Utah
Race Information
The Lauren McCluskey Race for Campus Safety will be held on October 31, 2026, at McCarthey Family Track and Field in Salt Lake City, Utah. This annual, community-driven event raises awareness and funds to improve how colleges respond to relationship violence and stalking. Inspired by Lauren McCluskey’s life and legacy, the race brings together students, families, advocates, and campus communities in a shared commitment to creating safer campuses.
Taking place on Halloween morning, this year’s event will also have candy available for kids trick-or-treating at vendor booths as a part of the race festival.
Choose from the 1K, 5K, or 10K race distances, then stick around for a family-friendly festival filled with fun activities, community partners, and special mascot appearances! Bumble the Bee from the Salt Lake Bees, Leo the Lion from Real Salt Lake, Cleo the Lioness from the Utah Royals, and the University of Utah’s famed mascot, SWOOP, are all currently scheduled to join the race-day festivities. Whether you’re running, walking, cheering on participants, or enjoying the festival, there’s something for everyone!
