Sallarulo’s Race for Champions Gets Under Way on Nov. 4

Get out your running – or walking – shoes and sign up for the 18th Annual Sallarulo’s Race for Champions at the Fort Lauderdale/Davie Campus on Saturday, November 4. Runners and walkers from all over South Florida will come to campus to participate in this 5K race to benefit Special Olympics Florida – Broward County.

Registration starts at 6:30 a.m. and the run starts at 8 a.m. in the circle on Ray Ferrero Blvd. NSU is the only private university in the country with a local Special Olympics chapter on its campus, now housed permanently in the NSU University School sports center. In fact, a member of NSU’s Board of Trustees, Paul Sallarulo, serves as Chairman of the Race for Special Olympics Florida – Broward County.

NSU’s partnership with this worthy organization is made possible by the late Don Taft, who had been committed to supporting special-needs children and adults. All proceeds from the race will benefit Special Olympics Florida –Broward County, whose mission is to provide year-round sports training and athletic competitions for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

Registration is open at www.champions5k.org. NSU students can use the code NSU2023 to register for free. We hope to see you there.
