Description

The 2016 God Water Run for the Thirsty 5k:

This third annual event will once again start and end at Schererville's beautiful Redar Park and run throughout the neighborhood to the east. Whether you race for a trophy or jog with a friend, this 5k is all about the cause. All of the net proceeds will go to God Water, a local Christian charity that provides access to clean, safe drinking water for the people of Liberia, Africa. Runners and non-runners alike can also become a fundraiser and enjoy extra perks that come with making a larger impact, such as free race registration and 5k merchandise. Please join us, bring your loved ones, and help out those who thirst!
