About the Cause:

Since its inception in 2014, the Running & Walking Well 5K has funded the construction of wells in Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, Morocco and Zimbabwe. This year, proceeds will support a new well in Uganda, addressing the urgent need for clean drinking water in the Lira District. Access to safe water is critical, as approximately 24% of Africa’s 1.37 billion people lack this essential resource, leading to preventable diseases and deaths, especially among children.

Get Involved:

Participants can contribute by running or walking in the event, volunteering, donating a silent auction item or spreading the word. Sponsorship opportunities are available, ranging from $300 to $5,000.
