Aquaton
The marathon for the world’s water
Aquaton is a global virtual marathon for water. Each November, thousands of people around the world walk, run, or ride to transform their movement into clean water for communities in need.
Now in its 5th edition, Aquaton 2025 continues a growing tradition. What began in Latin America in 2021 has expanded into a worldwide movement, bringing people together across borders to support projects that provide safe water, sanitation, and education where they are needed most.
This year, participants will help fund 20 projects across 15 countries, strengthening communities, protecting ecosystems, and creating opportunities for health, dignity, and a brighter future.
Aquaton isn’t just about water, it’s about what water makes possible.
Join us from November 1–30, 2025. Donate your movement. Move for water.
Since 2021, participants like you have raised over $ 400,000 USD proving that every step, stride, and ride can change lives worldwide.
