Water for All 5K
The Water for All 5K takes place in Philadelphia at Boathouse Row. This community event features a single distance:
- 5 km run or walk
Participants follow a scenic course and receive several race amenities, including a finisher medal and a t-shirt. Bottled water is also provided during the event.
The race serves as a fundraiser for the Mambarare Water Supply Project, an initiative managed by the Engineers Without Borders Philadelphia Professional Chapter. This organization consists of volunteer engineers who partner with international communities to design and implement sustainable infrastructure. Specifically, the proceeds from this event are directed toward the development of safe and reliable drinking water solutions in Mambarare, Tanzania.
The funds gathered through registration fees contribute to various project needs, including engineering design work, procurement of materials, and construction costs. They also assist with travel expenses for volunteers and engineers who work directly with local partners in Tanzania. The event aims to emphasize the daily journey individuals in many parts of the world must take to access essential resources like clean water and sanitation.
