RUNNING FOR CHANGE

Tackling the world’s water crisis.

Run Blue is a bold, audacious campaign to raise awareness of the global water crisis and deliver groundbreaking action to solve it.

Established in 2022, Run Blue aims to tackle water blindness and drive transformational change by inspiring governments, companies, NGOs, and the public to take meaningful action on water. Already, we have built the largest global grassroots movement on water in history, a community of water heroes in 202 countries and territories.

But there is much more to do.

Billions of people still lack access to safe water and sanitation. Water risks to agriculture and industry are worsening. Climate change is driving more extreme droughts, floods and storms. Yet water is often missing from global conversations.

Run Blue is changing this, driving water up political, business and financial agendas. It is mobilising a movement for change. And it is partnering with companies, NGOs and communities to accelerate action.

At the heart of Run Blue is its founder, Mina Guli – a water advocate and ultramarathon runner who set out to make a difference by doing something different – running crazy distances to raise awareness and inspire action.

Like 200 marathons in 32 countries in 1 year in the lead up to the UN 2023 Water Conference. Along the way, Mina heard from people and businesses on the frontlines of the water crisis and shared their stories with the world – amplifying their calls for urgent action.
