About the Event

Bruin Run/Walk is excited to present the 26th annual 5K at UCLA, benefiting The Painted Turtle. This year's theme is SLUMBER PARTY RUN! Make sure to show up in your best pajamas, and we highly recommend bringing a stuffed Teddy Bear or other plushie along for the ride! As one of twelve committees within UCLA’s USAC Student Wellness Commission (SWC), Bruin Run/Walk organizes one of the largest student-run events on campus each year.

The Bruin Run/Walk 5K supports the The Painted Turtle, a camp in Lake Hughes, California for children with chronic illnesses and their families. The 5k event brings together nearly 1000 students, UCLA faculty, and members of the greater LA community in support of this meaningful cause.

For 25 years, Bruin Run/Walk has been a proud UCLA tradition, raising over $75,000 for our beneficiary! This event is made possible by a dedicated team of UCLA undergraduate students working closely with The Painted Turtle.

About Los Angeles

Frank Lloyd Wright is said to have quipped, "Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles," a quote that has since been repeated both by those who love and hate L.A. The "City of Angels" is home to people who hail from all parts of the globe and an important center of culture, business, media, and international trade. However, it's most famous for being a major center of the world's television, motion picture, and music industry, which forms the base of the city's status and lures visitors for its show business history and celebrity culture. Visitors are also drawn to Los Angeles for its Mediterranean climate and numerous beaches, which gave birth to California's famed surf culture.
