Marathons and running events

Each year WaterAid has a presence at many major running events globally. Known to many as some of the finest runs in the world, the New York City, Boston, and Chicago Marathons are not to be missed!

Whether you are a first timer, an experienced runner or if you just need an excuse to visit some exciting US cities, this adventure is for you!

WaterAid America, based in New York, is well placed to cheer for our WaterAid supporters running in the New York Marathon – and we can confirm that there are few experiences like the New York City Marathon. The course takes you over five bridges, through five boroughs and with more than two million spectators and music every half mile, you can be sure that the atmosphere is second to none.

Millions of people around the world face a daily marathon just to collect water. Every step you run with WaterAid brings those people closer to safe water and a better quality of life. So run the marathon for WaterAid, become part of our fantastic team and join us to build a world where everyone has access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene education.
