You will also sign a release and pay a registration service fee when you register. Additional donations and donations from non-riders support our work and are greatly appreciated!
Helmet and long-lasting headlight(s) are required. Spare lights, batteries, and/or power packs are recommended for the longer distances.
This ride is mostly unsupported, however there will be water and snack stops along the route at the Belleville, Monticello, and Jane Addams Trail trailheads and a 24-hour convenience store in Monroe.

Our History
Cardiac on Campus was founded in 2016 after the untimely passing of Jon Derynda, a 20-year-old UW-Oshkosh student. His sister, Brittany, and cousin, Jessica Miller, were students at UW-Madison at the time. They wanted to intentionally reach out to younger individuals who do not normally view themselves as at-risk for sudden cardiac arrest. We started small and quickly grew, offering free CPR certification courses, placing AEDs in dorm buildings, and establishing the Red Tutu Trot. Seven years later, we have placed 11 AEDs, performed over 973 ECG screenings, detecting 37 abnormal rhythms, and certified over 2,100 people in CPR.
Racing Towards a Safer Community
For 90% of its victims, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is fatal. Increasing bystander CPR and AED knowledge while also offering preventive care, like electrocardiogram (EKG) screenings, is our best solution for lowering this grim statistic. Help Cardiac on Campus raise money for our initiatives and awareness about SCA! Thank you for your time and support!
