The #RunningDry Campaign, started by international water advocate and ultra-marathon runner, Mina Guli, has been announced as a finalist in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Action Campaign Awards (UN SDG Action Awards). Nominated for the People’s Choice Award, #RunningDry needs your vote to help make saving water -- our world’s most precious resource – an even bigger priority.

The UN SDG Action Awards recognize individuals, civil society organizations, subnational governments, foundations, networks, and private sector leaders who are advancing the global movement for the Sustainable Development Goals in the most transformative, impactful and innovative way.

From more than 2000 applications from 142 countries, three finalists have been selected for each of the 7 categories: mobilizer, storyteller, campaigner, connector, visualizer, includer and creative. In addition to the People’s Choice Award, #RunningDry is a finalist in the “campaigner” category for its powerful 100-day campaign to demonstrate a 100 per cent commitment to solving the global water crisis.

With the exception of the People’s Choice Award which is determined by public vote, a judging panel of more than 20 experts will determine the seven category winners. All winners will be announced at the SDG Global Festival of Action Awards ceremony in Bonn, Germany on Thursday 02 May at 6pm CET.

“I am immensely honoured that our fabulous #RunningDry community has been selected as a finalist for the UN SDG Action Awards!” beams Mina. “It’s a massive deal and great kudos for our entire community who stepped up to run, donating their distance to help change how we all think about water.”
