2022 Race for Refugees

R4R5 will be held on Saturday, November 19, 2022 at beautiful Tower Grove Park, our home base since the inaugural R4R back in 2017. All proceeds from R4R5 benefit the International Institute of St. Louis, which provides vital services to immigrants & refugees arriving in STL from around the world. IISTL will be celebrating its 103rd anniversary on race weekend! New this year! During registration, participants have the option to choose between a R4R5 t-shirt, or upgrade to a R4R5 hoodie for an additional $15! *Hoodies are only available through October 31st.

Register by October 31st in order to guarantee you receive your R4R5 Swag on Race Day.

Online registration closes at 11:59pm on November 16th, and in-person registration is available at packet pickup and on race morning.

R4R started back in 2017 in response to the initial federal ban on 7 Muslim-majority nations. Since our inaugural event we have raised over $30,000 for our local refugee and immigrant community via the International Institute of St. Louis. Join our family-friendly event (bring those dogs & strollers!) and help create a more welcoming community for ALL!
