Annual Run to Remember Set for April 21 at Cal Poly

SAN LUIS OBISPO – The eighth annual 5k Run to Remember to benefit Cal Poly’s Sexual Assault-Free Environment Resource (SAFER) will take place Wednesday, April 21.

Run to Remember promotes running safely at night and honors survivors of sexual assault. The event draws more than 200 participants each year.

The annual nighttime fun run is open to all Cal Poly students, faculty and staff, as well as members of the community.

The run will be a loop around the campus, starting and finishing at Mott Lawn. For a downloadable registration form, visit http://safer.calpoly.edu.

Check-in at the event begins at 5 p.m. on Mott Lawn, with the run starting at 6 p.m.

Registration is $15 and includes a shirt for the first 100 runners and a reflective arm band for the first 150 runners.

All money raised will go toward the SAFER program for sexual assault recovery and prevention programs held on campus throughout the school year.

SAFER is a joint program between Cal Poly Student Life and Leadership and the Sexual Assault Recovery and Prevention Center of San Luis Obispo County. Run to Remember is part of SAFER's Remember Week, held each spring to raise awareness of sexual assault and promote the end of violence against women and men.
