In 2020 Milwaukee is going to celebrate United Nations World Water Day at the 9th annual Run 4 Water MKE on April 26th! The 5K run/walk will symbolize distances traveled to access water in other parts of the globe. All proceeds from the Run 4 Water MKE go to projects designed and built by Engineers Without Borders at UW-Milwaukee providing clean water to villages in rural Guatemala.
The race starts at 9:00 am near the Gift of Wings kit store in Veterans Park on the shore of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee.

In many parts of the world, access to water is very difficult. A major chore for the day involves walking an average of 3 miles each way to provide water for the family.
Run 4 Water MKE Mission:
Our mission is to acknowledge the importance of water in the daily lives of all human beings. Our annual walk/run is a statement of unity with the effort involved to access water. This mission is congruent with the United Nations World Water Day: http://www.unwater.org/worldwaterday/
