Get ready to lace up your running shoes for the IRIS Run for Refugees happening on Super Bowl Sunday, February 8th, 2026, in the vibrant city of New Haven, South Central Connecticut! This exciting event invites participants to take on a flat 5K run or walk through the picturesque East Rock neighborhood. Whether you choose to join us in person or opt for the virtual option, you can run, walk, or bike a 5K anywhere you like, making it accessible for everyone.

This year, go the extra mile for refugees by creating an individual or team fundraiser to support IRIS' essential services for immigrants, including housing, healthcare, job placement, and education. With over 3,000 refugees, asylum seekers, and undocumented immigrants welcomed in 2025, your participation will make a meaningful impact in helping newcomers feel at home. Each registration includes a stylish long-sleeve tech shirt or a black short-sleeve shirt, available on a first-come, first-served basis. Don't forget to tag us in your photos and videos, and you might just be featured on our social media! Join us to make a difference on this unforgettable day!
