Event Description
Support a cause close to our hearts and show off your Badger spirit! Cardiac on Campus presents its hybrid Red Tutu Trot 5k, a run/walk that takes place in Madison on October 24th or whenever and wherever is most convenient for you. All proceeds from the race will be used to host free CPR/AED certification classes in the Madison community. Funds raised will also help us place AEDs in UW-Madison campus buildings. The Red Tutu Trot is the perfect event for students, families, and all Badger fans. Join us to raise awareness for cardiac health!
Participants can register until the end of the race on October 24th. Each individual that registers by 11:59 pm on October 2nd will be automatically entered in our official Red Tutu Trot 2021 giveaway. Prizes include KwikTrip gift cards, a one-month Cyclebar membership, official Cardiac on Campus gear, and more!
The Official Red Tutu Trot 2021 T-Shirt Fundraiser!

Interested in a tutu?
This year, we are devastated that we cannot sell red tutus to our virtual participants due to the complexity of shipping and handling. In-person participants can purchase a tutu the day of the race (limited quantity). You can also show your support by wearing past Red Tutu Trot or Cardiac on Campus clothing, buying a tutu online, or wearing anything red!
Why You Should Run & Our History
Cardiac on Campus is a student organization at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It was founded in 2016 after Brittany Derynda's 20-year-old brother passed away from sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) after completing a half-marathon. Our organization attempts to shed light on SCA prevention and cardiac health as a whole. For 90% of its victims, SCA is fatal. Increasing bystander CPR and AED knowledge is our best solution for lowering this grim statistic. Help Cardiac on Campus raise awareness about SCA and funds to put on free CPR and AED certification classes! Thanks for your time and support!
