The Run Around the World Festival is a FREE 24-hour event presented by Run4Water. This September, Ultra Marathoners, everyday runners, and walkers will work together to collectively log 24, 901 miles, which is the distance around the Earth! These miles will be devoted to raising awareness for the World Water Crisis, and we believe that anyone can help make a difference.
The Festival will be held this September in Lebanon Tennessee.
Please come join us and sign up for any of the race. You can help support our cause and learn more about the crisis for clean water!

Endurance RunsThe Run Around the World Festival is home to several endurance races. Runners come from all over the country to compete in 24, 12, or 6 hour races. Because they run on a closed one mile track, their goal is to complete the most number of laps in the allotted race time. All runners (including those not running a competitive race) run on the same one mile track to offer encouragement to one another.
To sign up for the 24, 12, or 6 hour races, please follow the link below. |

Awareness RunsRunners not competing in races are still welcomed onto the track at the Run Around the World Festival. Runners are asked to dedicate miles to the water crisis. Through spending time and energy on our track, runners announce their awareness of the water crisis and their commitment to finding solutions. Consider doing your daily exercise and additional miles on our track on September 26th.
Those unable to attend the Run Around the World festival can follow the link below to dedicate their miles. |

Middle Tennessee schools sign up to engage their students in the Marathon in 26 Days. As a part of their PE classes, the students will run one mile per day for twenty-five days, and the students will learn about the water crisis. The twenty-sixth day will mark the Run Around the World Festival, and all of the young runners are invited to complete their final mile with the other runners to dedicate their marathon to the water crisis. The Marathon in 26 Days students will educate students on the importance of exercise and clean water in their daily lives. Run4Water is committed to raising awareness for the water crisis. Providing young athletes with the opportunity to run for a purpose is one such way that we choose to bring awareness to our community.
