  Students on the GO! is a program for high school students to train for a half marathon or 10K over a 20-week program. This isn’t a program just for highly trained runners (though they are welcome!). This is a program for any student who wants to be active, learn how to properly train for the 13.1 mile or 10K distance, and set and attain goals. In short, this is a program for ANY student! A free pair of running shoes and free entry into an additional race are just some of the perks of this program.

  Students may join the Students on the GO! Program through a school group. Participating high schools will have a school coordinator, and each student at a participating high school/team will join and then communicate through their own school’s SOTG program throughout the duration of the program.

  Program Components:

  • 20-week training program to prepare for half marathon or 10K

  • Plans written by GO! St. Louis coaching staff for all abilities

  (coaching staff will work with school coordinator to determine each student’s best plan)

  • Entry into half marathon or 10K race at program culmination

  • Finisher Jacket or Hooded sweatshirt, running shoes, and race entry for all participants

  • Opportunities for group runs in both Tower Grove and Forest Park

  Join us for the 8th Race for Refugees!

  Since 2017, the Race for Refugees community has come together to celebrate refugee and immigrant neighbors while raising critical funds that support first-touch services through the International Institute of St. Louis. All the funds we raise go to support the work of the International Institute of St. Louis.

  About the International Institute

  Established in 1919, the Institute has resettled refugees from Ukraine, Vietnam, Bosnia, Sudan, Congo, and many other countries. These individuals have gone on to become key pillars of our community, starting businesses, revitalizing neighborhoods, and enriching our city with their unique traditions and cultures.

  How the Institute Helps

  The International Institute supports new arrivals by offering holistic services like:

  • Education

  • Job Placement

  • Economic development

  • Cultural Orientation

  • Housing

  Whether you're running or walking (in person or virtually), join us in celebrating the rich multiculturalism that our new neighbors bring to our community. Be a part of our family-friendly event (bring those dogs & strollers!) and help create a more welcoming community for ALL!

  Team Registration:

  Gather your friends, colleagues, or community members and participate in the Race for Refugees as a team! Gather a team of 5 or more individuals and save $5 per registrant!
