Who is MissionCleanWater?
At MissionCleanWater, we're not just a nonprofit organization; we're a movement dedicated to transforming lives through clean water and sanitation. Imagine a world where every sip is pure, where communities flourish with newfound health and hope.
🌟 Our Mission: Empowering underserved communities with access to clean drinking water and sanitation, we strive to break the chains of waterborne diseases and create a ripple effect of positive change. Since 2018, we have provided clean water to 30,000 community members in Uganda and supply 2,000 gallons of clean water weekly to USA communities affected by lead contamination.

This race is for everyone. Whether you want to go as fast as you can, enjoy a nice stroll in the park, or walk with your entire family, anyone is welcome to join us. This is meant to be a moment for the community to get together, enjoy the start of nice weather, and celebrate making an impact on communities that need safe water.
Fun Muffin Twist!
To support local coffee shops and bakeries, this race is going to have a fun muffin twist! With a muffin-based theme, each runner will be given a delicious muffin as a giveaway. We love food!
