Annual Run to Remember Set for Oct. 29 at Cal Poly
SAN LUIS OBISPO - The seventh annual 5k Run to Remember to benefit Cal Poly's Sexual Assault-Free Environment Resource will take place Wednesday, Oct. 29.
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 in front of the Cal Poly Health Center. For a map of the route, visit the SAFER Web site at www.safer.calpoly.edu.
Registration at the event starts at 5 p.m. on the lawn at the Health Center, with the run starting at 6 p.m.
Registration is $15 and includes a shirt and reflective arm band for the first 200 runners. A downloadable registration form is available on the SAFER Web site or at the Cal Poly Women's Center, Room 217 at the University Union.
Run to Remember promotes running safely at night and honors survivors of sexual assault. The event draws more than 200 participants each year.
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's Student Life and Leadership department and the Sexual Assault Recovery and Prevention Center of San Luis Obispo County. SAFER organizes annual Cal Poly and community events such as Remember Week, held each spring to raise awareness of sexual assault and promote the end of violence against women.
