Create a Team!

What better way to support a great cause than to do it with friends! Once you register for 4 Miles 4 Water, you can create a team of family, friends, coworkers, your community volleyball team, whomever! Creating a team will also help you increase your fundraising goals for 4M4W and that motivation will only help you run faster. 

What Will I Get?


We've invested in YOU, our runners, and we've ramped it up this year!

All runner and walkers will receive:

  • 2019 Race Timing Chip
  • 4 Miles 4 Water Stainless Steel Water Bottle
  • Pic-2-Go Professional Race Photos Online
  • Complimentary Post-Race Beer (21+ only)
  • Virtual Swag... which means no 'Eco-Guilt'
  • Entrance to All Things Water Festival (8am-1pm); suggested $10 donation for all non-registered runners/walkers
  • Plus a chance to win gift certificates and more if you place in your age group!
Timing Chips?
Yes! We've added Timing Chips in 2019; each mile will be marked.
Why No Race T-Shirt?
One t-shirt requires 700 gallons of water to produce. As champions of our world's water supply, our goal is to raise awareness responsibly. That's why we'll give you a reusable, stainless steel water bottle instead. You're welcome! 
Why is the race 4 Miles?
4 miles is the average distance many people in the world have to walk in order to obtain drinking water. How does a 4 mile walk sound before your morning coffee?
Where does my money really go?
Since our founding, we have completed countless projects locally and in our sister-country, Uganda. Read all about our projects HERE, and keep up to date on all things Drink Local. Drink Tap. HERE
Additional Event Information

In order to preserve our fresh water resources and have a positive impact on the global water crisis, we must create more awareness and reconnect people with the fresh water resources in our own backyard. All of which can be achieved through 4 Miles 4 Water!

On Saturday, June 22nd, 2019, 4 Miles 4 Water will take place at Jacobs Pavilion at the Nautica Entertainment Complex. Enjoy views of downtown Cleveland and the Cuyahoga River waterfront during the festival, run and walk!

Why is it $30 to register?
$30 is the average cost to bring clean drinking water to one person -- for life! Your registration fee will be used to improve the lives of those who have limited access to safe drinking water. And if you're 17 and under, we'll discount the registration fee to just $10.
