Wells of Life’s Run4Water Set for April 28 at Mile Square Park

Wells of Life will present its 4th annual Run4Water 5K and 1K on Sunday, April 28 for the first time

at Mile Square Park in Fountain Valley. Run4Water is the largest fundraiser for Wells of Life which

provides clean water to the people of Uganda, Africa. Event activities include a USATF sanctioned

5K run, 1K run/walk and a post celebration with awards program, exhibitors, give-a-ways and

entertainment.

Wells of Life saves lives by providing access to clean water. Their goal for the 2019

Run4Water is to fund 50 wells, exceeding the 40 drilled last year. One well costs $6,000 while each

well provides clean water for 1000 people for up to 25 years. All non-well expenses are raised

through private donations, so 100% donations goes directly to drilling and maintaining their water

wells in addition to sanitation and hygiene education in Africa.

Individual entries are $40 for the 5K and $25 for the 1K. All registered participants will receive an official race time, t-shirt and medals for 5K entrants.
