Event Description
Join us for the Run for Refuge 5K Run & Walk! This community event is intended to bring people together to support caregivers who give so much of themselves every single day.
Hosted by David’s Refuge, this meaningful race raises critical funds to provide rest, wellness, and community support to parents and caregivers of children with special needs or life-threatening medical conditions. These caregivers are often pouring from an empty cup and this event helps refill it.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner, a casual walker, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, your participation directly impacts families across New York State. In 2026 alone, David’s Refuge will serve over 1,000 families through respite experiences, wellness opportunities, and a growing, supportive community.
Every step you take helps provide:
-
Rest for exhausted caregivers
-
Wellness resources for sustainable care
-
Community so families know they are not alone
Come run, walk, and rally around these incredible families. Together, we can ensure caregivers receive the support they need!
