Race for Refugees

The Race for Refugees is a community-focused running event held at the Sons of Rest Pavilion in St. Louis, MO, aimed at supporting refugees and immigrants. Established in 2017, the event promotes multiculturalism and raises funds for essential services provided by the International Institute of St.

Louis. Participants can choose between a timed 5K run/walk or an untimed 1-mile fun run, with options for a race t-shirt or hoodie. The event fosters a welcoming atmosphere for families and pets, encouraging community solidarity.

Since its inception, the Race for Refugees has raised over $34,000 for local refugee support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
