Join Ohio American Water Works Association (OAWWA) to raise funds for Water for People, a nonprofit organization with a mission to build a world where all people have access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services that are resilient in the face of climate change, equitable to all, and bring health and prosperity to communities.

Over 2.2 billion people around the world don’t have access to safe water and 3.5 billion lack access to adequate sanitation. Women and children spend more than 4 hours walking for water each day, and more than 840,000 people die each year from water-related diseases.

OAWWA is teamed up with Water For People to host the 8th annual Northeast Ohio Race For Global Water 5K. This year’s 5K will be October 3rd at Rocky River Reservation.

We’re excited to announce the 3rd Annual James Anderson Built on Belief 7K & 1-Mile Walk for Recovery —an event dedicated to celebrating resilience, recovery, and community. The 1 Mile Walk is an untimed event!

This race was inspired by James Anderson, whose journey of recovery has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2023, James ran 100 miles straight over 30 hours, pushing his body and mind to the limit to raise $20,000 for our organization. His dedication and belief in the power of recovery continue to inspire others to take that next step—whether it’s one mile or one hundred.

In 2024, we launched this race as a way to honor James’ efforts and create a lasting tradition that brings the community together in support of recovery. Our inaugural event was a huge success, but we also learned a lot—and we’re making exciting improvements for 2026! This year, participants can look forward to:

✅ A newly paved driveway at the start/finish line for a smoother race experience✅ An updated and more accurate race map to ensure precise course measurements✅ An even better event experience with improved logistics, amenities, and more surprises!
