Our 2026 run was a great success 

uniting people from all over the world
14.082 partic­i­pants

In 43 coun­tries
Collected more than €84,000 funds

 
Over the past three years, the Best Water Run has grown into a global move­ment. Launched as part of World Water Day, it has a clear mission: Raising aware­ness about the global water crisis. In many parts of the world, people still don’t have easy access to clean drinking water from a tap. Often, the nearest water source is an average of 6 kilo­me­ters away – a distance that many people have to walk every single day to collect fresh water. With the Best Water Run, we’re not only raising aware­ness – we’re sending out a powerful message. 100% of the dona­tions raised through the run go directly toward building new drinking water wells in Africa. At the Best Water Run 2026, 14.082 participants from 43 countries came together. We covered more than 80,000 kilometers – and raised over € 84.000 to fund new well projects.

HOW FAR WOULD YOU WALK FOR WATER?

It is easy to take clean drinking water for granted. For many of us, clean water is just a step away from the nearest tap. But for more than 2 billion people world­wide, this is not the reality. According to the UN, 500 million of these indi­vid­uals live in Africa. Imagine waking up every morning knowing your first task is to walk 6 kilo­me­ters, carrying 20 kilo­grams of water back home.


For the third time, we are coming together to raise aware­ness.

By running a symbolic 6 km, we are going to raise funds to help build wells in Africa. For every partic­i­pant, BWT donates €6, with all funds going to the b.water­MIS­SION project.

b.waterMISSION

Sustainable water supply systems

b.waterMission is the flagship project of the AQUA Pearls Foundation. It is a transformative project that improves people’s long-term quality of life by building water wells.

Since the first b.waterMISSION water well was built in 2019, almost 83,000 people in Africa have gained access to clean drinking water within 150 metres of their homes. In total, almost 600 million litres are already distributed.
