together we can run for clean water.
Due to continued gathering limitations, this year’s 5K this year will be virtual! In 2020, we were blown away by the participation and excitement from our UWP Tribe across the country who could run with us for a united purpose – clean water. Register today to help make 2021 the year of clean water for people and communities throughout Uganda. You can run, walk, bike or skip your 5K – whatever gets you outside and active! If you want to see how you stack up against other runners, submit your time and we’ll post the results after the race weekend.
register
Registration is open until 11:59pm on April 18 but registering before April 9 will ensure you get your race packet mailed to you the week of the event! Along with your bib & t-shirt, this year’s race packet has some extra swag in it!
This year, when you register for our 5K you’re partnering with us to make a tangible difference in the lives of people throughout Uganda. Instead of a registration fee, we’re encouraging you to sign up with a $100 fundraising goal! $100 can provide 4 people in Uganda with clean water! Give your friends, family and local community a cause to rally behind – and don’t worry, we have lots of tried and true fundraising tips to share!
A great way to make a big impact is to start a team! Your team can be made up of friends, family, your sports team, church group, alumni from your college, co-workers or whoever else you want. The top fundraising team will have the privilege of getting their name on our hand-crafted Team Trophy! Once you register, we’ll send instructions to help you set up your campaign along with plenty of resources to get you started.

The Brophy FamliyIn April 2020, we were eager to participate in something that took our focus off of COVID, and all that we ‘couldn’t do’! We were thrilled to support this virtual event right in our own town and to get to do it ‘together, apart’ with our daughter and her husband, who live in Michigan! At a time of uncertainty, and the feeling of wanting to be together with family, it was nice to do what we could to ‘feel together’ on something and to think about more than ourselves.
support a runner
Outside of registering yourself, a great way to participate in the 5K is to support a fellow runner!
Each year we have incredible people sign up to participate in our 5K and work to reach their fundraising goal. You can see the teams that have signed up and individual runners here – take a look through and see if there’s anyone you know! Each dollar you donate helps your pal get a bit closer to their goal and helps us continue to provide clean water solutions in Uganda every day.
corporate sponsorship
