About the Event

Welcome to the Southern Indiana 6K for Water! 

Join us on Saturday, May 16, 2026 at Olcott Park in Bloomington, Indiana as we move our feet to bring life-changing, CLEAN water to communities in need. Check-In and race day Registration begin at 7:30 AM. Race starts at 8:30 AM. Parking will be available at Jackson Creek Middle School.

6K Daily Walk for Water

Six kilometers is the average distance women and kids in the developing world walk for water each day. This water is often contaminated with life-threatening diseases. By signing up to participate in the Southern Indiana 6K Walk/Run for Water, you will be bringing life-changing, clean water to communities in need through a World Vision Water project.

Support Those Living In Desperate Need

For every $50 raised by donors or participants of the Southern Indiana 6K for Water, World Vision will provide sustainable, clean water to a woman or child in the developing world. Our 2026 goal is to provide 400 individuals with hope for a brighter future by raising $20K. By signing up for the 6K, you'll bring one person sustainable, CLEAN water!
