We Run the City for Special Olympics Southern California
 

Final Score

UCLA defeats USC 71% to 29%.

Thank You

Thank you to everyone who ran and supported We Run the City on November 11 at Wilson Plaza on UCLA's Campus. Because of your support, the event was a success and we raised more than $50,000 for people with intellectual disabilities. All proceeds from this rivalry run will help provide free year-round training for the nearly 12,000 Special Olympics Southern California athletes. Special Olympics is more than a sports program. It is training for life. Special Olympics athletes are five times more likely to hold a job than the general population of individuals with intellectual disabilities. They are also more physically fit and live happier, healthier, and longer lives.
