In an effort to help those who don’t have reliable access to clean drinking water, the Run For H2O is coming back to Sherwood Park for a second year, June 25 at 10 a.m.

The Run For H2O is a family friendly running event in Sherwood Park bringing awareness, fun, and a community together for villages in Ethiopia. Participants can either run 10k, run or walk 5k, and kids can run or walk 1k.

This year’s focus is on bringing clean water to people of Gezesso II, a village home to about 2,300 people. 100 per cent of funds raised go directly to HOPE International Development Agency, which enables 75 initiatives in 19 countries worldwide, many of which give people access to reliable supplies of clean water right in their communities.
