WD News: World renowned water campaigner, Mina Guli has achieved a seemingly impossible feat by completing her 200th marathon in one year on the steps of the UN headquarters.

Setting out on her epic journey exactly a year ago on World Water Day 2022, Mina ran 8440 km in 32 countries from Australia to Zambia – a distance greater than the length of Africa or equivalent to the distance from New York to Buenos Aires. It was all part of her global campaign to raise awareness about the scale of the world’s water crisis, and inspire a global grassroots movement for change.

Celebrating her extraordinary achievement, Mina Guli said, “I was told that my goal of running 200 marathons in 1 year on the frontlines of the global water crisis was crazy, that it was impossible. But I did it. Hard, yes. Crazy, certainly. Impossible – no. And none of the steps that governments and businesses must take to solve the world’s water crisis are impossible either. Everywhere I ran around the world, people were calling for action to tackle the worsening challenges they face from too little water, too much water or too dirty water. We can’t let them down. Let’s have the courage to make it count.”
