On World Refugee Day, June 20, 2019, join us for a sunset run/walk & candlelight vigil in support of refugees around the globe.

The Sunset Run for Refugees is a special event on the evening of Wednesday, June 20th, World Refugee Day, involving running and fitness clubs from throughout Washington DC that will culminate in a candlelight display and vigil at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. We’re inviting running and fitness clubs and all other interested individuals to join us for a run/walk shortly before sunset (arriving at the Reflecting Pool no later than 8:30 pm) on June 20th. All running groups will arrive at the Lincoln Memorial and then proceed to form a caravan of light and hope that will surround the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool shortly after the sun goes down. The entire vigil should last about 20 minutes and there will be photographers and videographers on hand to capture the display. WALKERS ARE WELCOME, TOO!
