Cal Poly to Host Annual 5K Run to Remember

Posted: Updated:

CAL POLY - On October 24, 2012 Cal Poly’s Safer (Cal Poly's sexual assault and relationship violence prevention program, www. safer.calpoly.edu) will be holding its annual Run to Remember 5K fun run.

This event is meant to commemorate those who have passed on as a result of sexual assault; highlighting three students of the San Luis Obispo community who were sexually assaulted, then killed in the late 1990’s.

We will also take this time to remember, honor, and celebrate the life of every survivor of sexual assault.

Participants in the run not only include Cal Poly students, faculty and staff, but members from the San Luis Obispo community as well.

The cost to run is $5, with 100% of the proceeds going to help fund Cal Poly’s Safer, as well as San Luis Obispo County SARP (Sexual Assault Recovery and Prevention) Center’s programs and resources.

The run will take place on Wednesday, October 24, 2012 in Cal Poly’s University Union Plaza. Registration will begin at 5pm, and the run will begin at 6pm.

There will be live music, speakers including San Luis Obispo mayor, Jan Marx, and Cal Poly’s ASI President, Katie Morrow, as well as spoken word performers and more.

The website for this event is located at: http://www.studentlife.calpoly.edu/safer/events/run.asp
