About the Refuge Coffee Run
The Refuge Coffee Run raises money for job training for refugee and immigrant neighbors in Clarkston. The morning includes several distance options, a color run where participants finish covered in powder, and a competitive kids' race. The mission is close to the surface here, which gives the whole event a particular weight that a typical weekend race does not have.
Good coffee is part of the plan after you finish, and the organizers are clear that sticking around is the point. The post-race gathering feels like the main event as much as the running itself.
