Race Information
Come make an impact in the global water crisis, one step at a time.
The Water for People 5K offers an in-person 5K in Charlotte and a 'virtual' 5K allowing people to participate across the state of North Carolina, (or anywhere in the world!) at the location of their choosing.
The purpose of Water For People is to Help People in developing countries Help Themselves. Water For People strongly believes that project beneficiaries, men and women, must be actively involved in all aspects of a project (planning, design, implementation, cost-sharing and operation/maintenance) to nurture local autonomy, initiative, management and ownership. Water For People has adopted the Country of Bolivia, and actively funds projects and participates in annual work trips benefiting those less fortunate in Bolivia.
