BWT X Windhager Best Water Run 2026 Sets New Global Record

Together, they raised more than €84,000 to support the construc­tion of new drinking water wells in Africa through the b.water­MIS­SION, BWT’s well-​building initia­tive. Held over a period of around one month, partic­i­pants around the world completed a symbolic distance of 6 kilo­me­ters – either indi­vid­u­ally or as part of orga­nized runs hosted by BWT subsidiaries and partner compa­nies. The distance repre­sents the average walk many people, espe­cially women and girls in rural Africa, have to make every day to collect clean drinking water.

The Best Water Run was launched as part of World Water Day and has grown into a global move­ment for clean water. With every step and every shared story, the initia­tive raises aware­ness for the global water crisis and helps create lasting impact.

Since the first b.water­MIS­SION well was built in 2019, almost 83,000 people in Africa have gained access to clean drinking water within 150 meters of their homes.

BWT thanks all partic­i­pants, part­ners, and supporters who helped make the BWT X Wind­hager Best Water Run 2026 a record-​​breaking success!
