Skylar's Run - Clean Water 5K

Everyday in East Africa, women and children walk an average of 5 kilometers to retrieve water for their families that is often unclean and unsafe for human use. Skylar's Run Clean Water 5K race is focused on bringing awareness that Safe, Clean Water IS a solvable problem. Race headliner, Skylar Gwin, and his father, Paul, will be leading the wheelchair accessible "Walk & Roll" event as a testimony to the fact that EVERYONE can be part of the clean water solution, no matter their age or abilities.

All funds raised through this event are used to provide sustainable water filters for vulnerable families in Kenya. This designation most often applies to those with limited means who have young children, elderly, physically disabled, or chronically ill family members. These populations are most susceptible to water-born illnesses.

This event is a 5K Run/Walk, Water Carry, or Walk & Roll event for the WHOLE FAMILY!! We will have music, a free raffle for race participants, a photobooth, handcrafted Kenya items for purchase, children's water education activities, and much more fun!!!
