The CORE 5k is put on by a campus group focused on refugee support and community outreach, so the race doubles as a fundraiser for that work. Proceeds go toward cultural events, welcome kits for refugees, and library and outreach projects. The field tends to draw people who are there for the cause as much as the running.
