We will have plenty of fun and games for all ages. During the Walk, you’ll carry an empty bucket for approximately 1.5 miles. You will then fill it with water and walk about 1 mile back to Riverfront Park. Along the route, you’ll learn about the global water crisis and experience stories from those Water Mission serves. Once you complete the route, you will empty your bucket into a pool of water that will be treated by Water Mission’s Living Water Treatment System. This will clean the water and make it safe for all purposes.
We encourage everyone to wear their Walk for Water t-shirts, sunscreen, and a pair of comfortable shoes. Please also dress appropriately for the weather. Together, we will walk so others don’t have to.
