The Race

The        Race

What:

Participants in Running Water will traverse a 3.7 mile course. At the halfway point, they will retrieve a container of dirty water (sized to your ability) and carry it back to the finish line.

​

Cost: $30

100% registration proceeds will benefit charity: water, a non-profit organization bringing clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. 

Where:

LaPlata Beach @ the University of Maryland

Why:

3.7 miles is the average distance that women and children in all of Africa and Asia have to travel to obtain water daily. By taking this journey you will be able to empathize with the challenge that water collection poses to millions on a daily basis, and support one person in getting clean-water access. 

When:

11am April 15th, 2017

OUr Mission

663 million people worldwide still lack access to safe drinking water and walk hours to get it. In Africa and Asia, women and children walk an average of 3.7 miles, often spending up to 6 hours each day, just to collect water. This activity is costly in time that could instead be used to go to school or engage in revenue generating activities - and the problem doesn’t stop there. 50% of the world’s hospital beds are filled with people suffering from waterborne diseases. These diseases claim the lives of 4,500 children per day. This problem is too large for us to ignore - and so we are going to do something about it.

 

This April we are bringing students, faculty, and community members together at the University of Maryland to go the distance that millions worldwide travel daily to get water. Our race will be in support of charity: water, and together, we will be putting 100% of your $30 registration fee directly to the field to help bring someone else clean water. Our goal is to raise and donate a grand total of $10,000 which will allow us to found a water project in the name of our race. Together we can change the world. Are you up for the challenge?
