Honor Our Veterans — Join Us This November!

This year, we are proud to partner with The Kaufman Fund, a nonprofit organization that has been serving veterans and their families across the St. Louis region for over 30 years. The Kaufman Fund provides critical support in areas such as mental health services, housing assistance, food programs, dental care, and educational resources — working tirelessly to ensure that no veteran is left behind. By joining the Veterans Appreciation Run, you are helping further this mission and making a direct impact on the lives of local veterans.

Click here for more information about The Kaufman Fund.

Lace up your running shoes and meet us on November 15 at Jefferson Barracks Park, a location rich in military history and a fitting place to gather in honor of those who have served. As you run or walk the scenic, tree-lined course, you’ll be part of a powerful community event that celebrates service, sacrifice, and unity.

Can’t make it in person? Join us virtually!

Our new Virtual Veterans Appreciation Run lets you participate from anywhere in the country while still supporting the cause. Run or walk your own 5K on your schedule, and we’ll mail your commemorative medal, race shirt, and goody bag directly to you. Whether you're near, far, or wherever you are, this is a meaningful way to stand with our veteran community and show your support.

The Veterans Appreciation Run, in person or virtually, is a chance for people of all ages and abilities to express their gratitude. Whether you’re a dedicated runner or simply looking to enjoy a meaningful day with friends and family, we invite you to stand with us in support of the men and women who have given so much.

    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!

    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!
