## Resource

Samson Hillary joins us to talk about the Race for Refugees, an event that’s not just about running but about community and compassion. This year’s 5K race takes place in the beautiful Tower Grove Park. Race for Refugees connects to the larger mission of the International Institute of St. Louis, which aims to support and uplift refugees and immigrants. Samson shares his inspiring journey from South Sudan to the States, shedding light on the challenges faced by many from his home country, and the importance of community support.We also have a good laugh about the quirks of running while discussing how you can join in the fun, whether you’re a seasoned marathoner or just someone looking to enjoy a sunny day outdoors. Plus, we’ve got team registrations, the fun of friendly competition, and why this race is such a big deal for the local community. So lace up those sneakers, folks, because this isn’t just any race – it’s a race for a cause!Race for Refugees Contact Information - hillarys@iistl.org - 314.283.2887[00:00] Race Promo Teaser[00:23] Show Welcome[01:15] Sponsor and Quote[02:30] Meet Samson Hillary[03:32] South Sudan Context[07:07] Race Basics and Location[08:28] Registration and Fees[09:14] Teams and Fun Vibes[11:14] Family Friendly Details[13:25] Gear and Where to Sign Up[15:30] Race Logo Shout-outs[16:03] Why The Race Started[17:15] Sign Up And Sponsor[18:16] Race Day Location Details[18:44] Break And Sponsor Spots[21:38] South Sudan Reflections[23:29] Smart Speaker Listening Plug[23:59] Today In Weird Holidays[25:57] Dolly Parton Fun Facts[29:54] Jokes Signs And One Liners[32:19] Wrap Up And ThanksTakeaways: The Race for Refugees is set for April 18th and supports a great cause in St. Louis.
