Announcement: WRD’s Run for Refugees 5k

Join us for World Relief Durham’s first Run for Refugees 5k on October 26, 2024 on Duke University’s East Campus. 

Today, there are over 120 million people around the globe who have been forced to leave their homes. Threatened by extreme persecution, violence, and oppression, they left behind everything familiar to seek a life free from fear. For some, their refugee journey ultimately leads them to our very own neighborhoods.

Join us in running for refugees to help ensure they are cared for and welcomed when their refugee journey ends here in the Triangle and they begin anew! When you sign up you are not only receiving a T-shirt, official timing and snack during race day, but you are supporting refugees in the Triangle.

The early bird price is open now and expires September 10th… Sign up today!  If your business or church is interested in sponsoring this event, please reach out to WRDDevelopment@wr.org for more information or use the link below.
