The Wonderful Water Run Events aims to be an inclusive and accessible race for all ages, abilities and gender identities.

We are actively working on expanding opportunities to our LGBT+ and non-binary athletes at our events.

We truly strive to create an encouraging atmosphere for any and all who desire to cover the miles we have to offer.

Thank you for your patience and support as we keep growing and learning alongside all of our participants.
