race for clean water

A RUN WITH A PURPOSE

The race to save lives starts with the spokenya run!

JULY 22, 2023

The Spokenya Run/Walk 7k is designed to raise money for clean water acts in rural Kenya.

100% of your race entry fee goes directly to clean water projects in rural Kenya. This year, each entry will provide a biosand water filter for a household in Adiedo village. These filters provide clean water to the entire household. We can’t wait to see you at the starting line of the Race for Clean Water!
