Every step makes a difference.
Join us for the Run for Refuge 5K and help bring hope, healing, and transformation to men and women experiencing homelessness in our community. This family-friendly race supports the life-changing work of Peninsula Rescue Mission, where individuals find safe shelter, hot meals, Christ-centered care, and a pathway toward restored lives.
Whether you are a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best or walking with friends and family, your participation directly impacts those seeking refuge from crisis and hardship. Proceeds from the race support emergency shelter, long-term recovery programs, and our growing outreach to women with nowhere else to turn.
This is more than a race — it is a movement of compassion. Together, we can run toward a future where every person has a place to belong and the opportunity to rebuild.
Lace up your shoes. Invite your friends. Run for refuge.
