The main Walk for Water event will take place on Saturday, September 28, 2024, at the Hach Loveland location (5600 Lindbergh Drive, Loveland CO 80538). Check-in will begin at 9:30 a.m. (MST), followed by the Walk at 10:00 a.m. (MST).
For the most up-to-date information, please go to our Walk for Water page on Hach Connect.
Other in-person walk events will take place at various Hach global sites, and any associates who wish are also encouraged to participate in the event virtually by walking wherever they happen to be on September 28th (or any time until October 12th!).
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 1.5 miles back. Along the route, you’ll learn about the global water crisis and experience stories from those Water Mission serves.
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.
Yes, registered walkers can participate virtually! This option gives participants more flexibility to track miles and stay involved remotely.
If you are a virtual participant, you may log your Walk on any day between September 1 to October 12. During this time, we encourage you to walk a consecutive 2-4 mile route at your time and place of choice.
To raise awareness, please take pictures in a Hach or Walk for Water t-shirt and stay connected by sharing them on social media with the hashtag #HachWalkForWater.
During and after the Walk, we encourage you to post photos of the Walk to your social media accounts.
When you post, please tag Water Mission and Hach and use #HachWalkforWater. Don’t forget to invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join you in participating!
The Walk is an opportunity to help raise support for Water Mission’s ongoing efforts to fight the global water crisis, but fundraising is not a requirement to participate. If you choose to help us in this way, we thank you! To help you share Water Mission’s story and raise funds, resources are available here.
