Water for Life 5k

The Water for Life 5k is an annual fundraising run held in New Lenox, Illinois, hosted by VitaLife in partnership with Willow Creek Community Church. This chip-timed 5k race supports building wells in South Africa to provide clean, safe water to communities in need. The event highlights the critical issue of water scarcity, where women and children spend hours daily collecting water from polluted sources, leading to waterborne diseases.

Proceeds help fund entire wells, water tanks, and filters to improve health and safety. The race offers live online results and aims to raise enough funds to build two wells, combining fitness with a meaningful cause. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
