    Why We Run

    Join us at Lynn Family Stadium for the Steps for Safe Water 5k – a meaningful community
    run/walk benefiting WaterStep and supporting access to safe water around the world.

    This race is more than just miles on a course. It’s a show of solidarity with the millions of people
    who walk every single day to access water for their families. On average, individuals travel more
    than 3 miles just to collect water, and too often it still isn’t safe to drink.

    When you run or walk this 5k, you are helping remove those barriers and bring sustainable safe
    water solutions to communities that need them most.

    Your registration helps support WaterStep’s mission to provide sustainable safe water,
    sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) solutions to communities around the world.
