Participate in one of the largest Earth Week 2010 events in Los Angeles!

The Live Earth Run for Water is a series of run/walk events happening around the world within a 24-hour period on Sunday, April 18, 2010 to raise awareness about the shortage of safe drinking water in both developed and undeveloped countries.

More than 80 events (to date) on six continents with 6K run/walks – the average distance many women and children walk every day to secure water – to raise money for nonprofit Global Water Challenge and to assemble tens of thousands of the world’s citizens to create a “chorus of voices” bringing home the realities of water scarcity on both a local and international scale.

The Run for Water Los Angeles event will include the 6K run/walk fundraiser and a free Water Village that will feature interactive water education activities, exhibits, vendors and a musical performance by an A-List artist announced in February.

Through water education, the Run for Water Los Angeles event will reinforce messages about water conservation and provide tips on simple ways to save water – critically important for Southern California, much of which is already on water rationing due to diminishing water supplies.
