Race for Campus Safety
Honoring the life and spirit of Lauren McCluskey, a Pullman-native murdered in 2018 by a man she briefly dated after she wasn’t listened to, or believed, the Lauren McCluskey Foundation’s Race for Campus Safety is an annual event dedicated to raising 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 community members in a shared commitment to systemic change.
Register today for the October 4th event and choose from our 1K, 5K, or 10K race distances! Many participants walk, join the festival, and snap photos with Butch T. Cougar, Joe Vandal, or the Swire Coca-Cola Polar Bear. The event offers free activities for all ages, including inflatable obstacle courses and yard games, along with community resources, educational booths, live entertainment, and cheer squads. On the course, runners will be encouraged by local community groups and supported at Aid Stations sponsored by the Washington State Nurses Association!
Race is professionally timed by Brooksee Race Timing.
