Water scarcity is one of the most urgent crises of our time, affecting over 2 billion people worldwide. In many regions, particularly in Africa, families must walk an average of 6 km every day just to access water—often from unsafe sources contaminated with bacteria and pollutants. The lack of clean water not only threatens health and sanitation, leading to deadly diseases, but also disrupts education and economic stability, as children and women spend hours fetching water instead of attending school or earning a livelihood.

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.
