Announcing Best Water Run 2025: A Global Movement for Clean Water

In honor of World Water Day 2025, we are thrilled to announce the BWT x Windhager Best Water Run — For You and Planet Blue, a collaborative event aimed at raising awareness and funds to help address the global water crisis. This year’s run will take place globally from April 28 to May 23, 2025, and will feature a 6 km run — symbolizing the daily struggle of over 2 billion people who lack access to safe drinking water. 

Why a 6 km Run? 

Access to safe drinking water is a fundamental human right, yet over two billion people around the world lack this essential resource. The lack of access disproportionately affects communities in Africa, where people have to walk an average of 6 km every day to fetch water from unsafe sources, often contaminated with harmful bacteria and viruses. Girls and women usually bear the burden of providing water for their entire family. This responsibility leaves them exhausted and makes it very difficult for the girls to concentrate in the classroom. This situation not only poses a serious health risk but also hinders economic development and education. By running this distance, we are helping to build wells, so people no longer have to endure this daily struggle.

The Mission: Empowering Communities with Clean Water

✨ This event is part of our ongoing commitment to supporting b.waterMISSION, an initiative under the AQUA Pearls Foundation. This transformative project is focused on building sustainable water wells in The Gambia and Tanzania, providing communities with long-term access to clean drinking water. We are convinced that clean drinking water is a fundamental human right and that everyone should have access to it. By building drinking water wells, we are enabling local people to access affordable, clean water, while ensuring the long-term use of the wells through ongoing monitoring, maintenance, and repair.

This project goes far beyond providing access to clean water. By improving water quality, we are improving livelihoods, leading to significant improvements in health, education, and economic development in the region.

🏃‍♂️ We would like to motivate each and every one of you to join us in this global movement. Take part in our 6 km run, jog or walk and raise awareness about the importance of access to clean water and contribute to improving the lives of people in need. 💦

The BWT x Windhager Best Water Run 2025 is not just about running a race; it’s about showing solidarity with the millions of people who face the daily struggle of walking miles for water.
