Virtual Race, June 14–20

Keeping Our Promise Inc. invites you to participate in Run for their Lives — a Virtual Run Walk Bike Wheel or Ride Race to support our local Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) resettlement program. The race period will begin June 14th and end on Sunday, June 20, 2021, at 5 pm EDT to coincide with World Refugee Day. You can submit your race results anytime during this period. We want to honor the journey that our wartime allies endured in order to resettle in the Rochester area. For some of our SIV friends, this journey took years while their lives and those of their family members were in immediate danger as a direct result of having supported the wartime efforts of the United States.

The registration cost is $35 per participant. The t-shirt guarantee registration deadline is May 24, 2021, but registration will remain open until June 20, 2021. For more information and to register, click here.

We are also encouraging individual and team fundraising for the event. If any Asbury First members want to start a team and fundraise, you can sign up on the race website by clicking the "Become a Fundraiser" button.
