This will be a walk/run plus an outdoor experience. Each contestant starts off with at least a cup of water. Contestants can purchase water from the organization or bring their own water. Each contestant will try to carry as much water as desired to the finish line. Our organization and others will make a donation for each amount of water accumulated at the end. Contestants are allowed to drink the water during the run/walk and the remaining water will be put into a sanitized solution container where the water will be measured by gallon. The more gallons of water the larger the donation. We will have several organizations to donate to and you can help us choose!
