WRD Run for Refugees

The "WRD Run for Refugees" is a 5k event organized by World Relief Durham to support refugees resettling in the area. Scheduled for October 26, 2024, at Duke University’s East Campus, the event aims to raise awareness and funds to help ensure refugees are welcomed and cared for as they start anew in the Triangle. Participants can register for a fee that includes a T-shirt, race admission, and post-race refreshments.

Awards will be given to the top three finishers in both men's and women's categories. The event also encourages community involvement through a picnic following the race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
