Grundfos Run/ Walk for Water 5K - Lenexa, Kansas - Running

The Grundfos Run/ Walk for Water 5K is a Running race in Lenexa, Kansas consisting of a 5K.

This year, Grundfos Kansas City will unite to bring safe water to hundreds of men, women and children across the world. Together, we will reach people in need! Register today.

Why Walk?

Every day, millions of women and children in developing countries walk nearly 4 miles to retrieve water to their family's daily needs. In most cases, even after walking for miles and miles, the water they have to drink is contaminated.

Our Walk will simulate this trek to raise awareness of the global water crisis here in our community. Each participant will start the Walk with an empty bucket. About half-way through, they will fill that bucket with water and complete the remainder of the course. We hope that all participants end the Walk with a better understanding of the challenges people around the world face daily in search of something that we often take for granted - water.
