NOTE: REGISTRATION TEMPORARILY PAUSED WHILE WE DETERMINE WHETHER MILWAUKEE COUNTY WILL ALLOW THE EVENT TO HAPPEN AS SCHEDULED.
The Run 4 Water MKE is a 5K run / walk around beautiful Veteran's Park on Milwaukee's lakefront. All proceeds from the event go to the UW-Milwaukee chapter of Engineers Without Borders to build projects in rural Guatemala bringing potable water to communities that lack access to it. Join us to Run 4 Water so they don't have to!

Run 4 Water MKE COVID-19 Statement
When the 2020 Run 4 Water MKE was postponed and then eventually cancelled, those signed up were given the option to receive a refund or roll their registration over to the 2021 race. All those who did not request a refund were automatically registered for the in-person 2021 race on Sunday, April 25. If any of the registrants from 2020 would like to be transferred to the 2021 virtual race instead please contact us at run4watermke@gmail.com
Though the outbreak will hopefully be under much better control in April, we will implement several measures to make the event safer for participants and volunteers alike. We ask that runners not congregate near the Start/Finish line at the beginning and end of the race but rather space themselves out along the sidewalks leading away from the line following social distancing guidelines. The race chips on your race bib won't start timing you until you cross the Start/Finish line so there is no need to bunch up in close proximity with other participants before the start of the race. How far back you are from the Start/Finish line when the race officially starts has no impact on your ability to compete for medals and have your actual race time compared with others for the purpose of winning awards. If you are one of the small group of runners who isn't just interested in running a fast time but wants to actively race against other people, we will call you to come up to the line just before we start the race to minimize the amount of time you need to be close to others. We will not be offering a water stop during the race to eliminate one point of contact. There will still be a food and beverage station at the finish line with modifications in how the items are distributed and frequent disinfection. If there are any other health guidelines in place on race day that we can use to make the race a safer experience for all we will certainly review those and make additional changes as well.
Thank you for your understanding and support and we hope to see you in April 2021!
