Northeast Ohio Race for Global Water

Join Ohio American Water Works Association (OAWWA) to raise funds for Water for People, a nonprofit organization with a mission to build a world where all people have access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services that are resilient in the face of climate change, equitable to all, and bring health and prosperity to communities.

Over 2.2 billion people around the world don’t have access to safe water and 3.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. Women and children spend more than 4 hours walking for water each day, and more than 840,000 people die each year from water-related diseases.

OAWWA is teamed up with Water For People to host the 8th annual Northeast Ohio Race For Global Water 5K. This year’s 5K will be October 3rd at Rocky River Reservation.

All net proceeds from this fundraiser support water access and sustainability for individuals around the world. For more information on who you will be benefiting, please visit https://www.waterforpeople.org.
