About the Event

World Relief Durham serves refugees and other immigrants who have settled in the U.S. through a variety of programs. Durham has long supported newcomers and their families through annual events like Durham Refugee Day, held every June.

Join us for WRD's 3rd Run for Refugees 5K on August 22, 2026! We hope to welcome WRD supporters and new friends into a community of like-minded people and celebrate the rich diversity of backgrounds in our area.

This year we are excited to announce that we are partnering with small businesses and vendors at the 5k to bring some additional life to the overall event. More details will come out closer to the date of the race.

About Durham

Learn more about the host city, Durham.

Of the three cities that make up North Carolina's Research Triangle, Durham has traditionally been the grittier, more working-class one. A city of about 283,500 residents in 2020, Durham's early wealth was built on tobacco and textiles, with a vibrant African-American community that once made the city a center for Black culture.
