Community Refugee and Immigration Services [CRIS] is a Columbus-based nonprofit whose mission is to help refugees and immigrants in Central Ohio to reach safety and stability, sustain self-sufficiency, and achieve successful integration into the community.

Each year, CRIS hosts a community-wide event, the CRIS 5K! More than just a race, this is an opportunity for refugees and immigrants and their allies to come together in solidarity and celebration.

This year’s event will feature a full 5K in downtown Columbus (as well as a virtual option), two (free!) kids’ races, and a one-mile walk option.

8am: Registration and packet pick-up opens

8:30am: Advocacy Fair begins

9am: Welcome and guest speakers
