Why we run
The World Refugee Day 5K is more than a race. It is a celebration of resilience, culture, and community.
Join us as we run in support of refugees and families rebuilding their lives. Every step helps raise awareness and resources for those seeking safety, opportunity, and a fresh start.
After the race, stay and celebrate with vibrant African food, high-energy Afro Beats, and a powerful gathering of community members, leaders, and families. This is a space to connect, learn, and stand in solidarity.
Come ready to move, celebrate culture, and make a real impact.
Run with purpose. Celebrate with heart. Support refugees.
