Join the Dallas Muslim Running Club for an uplifting day of running and community support at the Run for Refugees event on Saturday, October 3, 2026. This family-friendly gathering takes place in Irving, Texas, with two race options: a fun-filled one-mile walk/run starting at 9:00 AM and a competitive 5K race kicking off at 9:30 AM. The races begin and conclude at Sam Houston Trail Park, offering participants the chance to enjoy scenic routes while contributing to Ma'ruf Dallas, an organization dedicated to aiding refugees. The event is designed not just for runners but also for those who prefer walking or simply want to spend time with their families in a vibrant setting. On race day, attendees can look forward to engaging activities such as vendor booths and food trucks, along with a special EPIC kids zone that promises fun games and entertainment for young ones. The 5K event will be professionally timed using chip technology, allowing participants to track their performance online instantly upon crossing the finish line. Each runner will receive a QR code on their bib which they can use to access race results in real-time after completing the course. Registration remains open until Race Day, with sponsors and donations accepted up to October 3rd to support Ma'ruf Dallas and local businesses. However, those registering as late as Friday, September 11th may miss out on having their names featured on event T-shirts and banners due to manufacturing constraints. All participants will receive a Run for Refugees T-shirt upon registration, with finisher medals awarded at the end of each race based on the bib number they carry. To ensure smooth logistics, packet pick-up is available in Irving from 11 AM to 6 PM on September 24th and in Plano between 10 AM and 2 PM on September 26th. Don't miss this opportunity to make a difference while enjoying a day of exercise and camaraderie. Sign up now for the Run for Refugees event, where every step counts towards making a positive impact in your community. For more information or registration details, visit [event website].
