Safety tips for exercising outdoors

The Wake Forest University Police Department encourages members of our University community to stay active while also being mindful of their surroundings—especially when off campus.

Please take note of these safety reminders:

• Jog or walk with a friend —There’s safety in numbers.
• Wear reflective gear —Especially when out during low-light hours.
• Use sidewalks and crosswalks —And never assume vehicles will stop.
• Stay alert —Avoid distractions; use one earbud instead of two if listening to music.
• Stick to familiar, well-lit routes —Avoid isolated or poorly lit areas.
• Let someone know —Share your route and estimated return time with a friend.
