The greatest contributor to raising awareness about water scarcity is by far Mina Guli from Australia who has been running 1 marathon per day since 4 November 2018 when she started this incredible feat at the iconic New York City Marathon. She has been traveling and running in cities and countrysides round the world since then, going from Europe to Asia to the Middle East to Africa with her campaign #RunningDry which is a terrific call to each of us to save water and to join together to change the way that we all use, consume and think about water.
In March 2016, Mina Guli finished running 40 marathons across 7 deserts on 7 continents in 7 weeks. It was a world first… She was named on Fortune’s list of the 50 greatest leaders in the world and said: “It was a strange feeling to see my name alongside the Pope, Angela Merkel and Jeff Bezos, but there I was at no 45!”. In April 2017, she completed her second 40-marathon challenge – this time in just 40 days. Now, she is on her quest to reach 100 marathons in 100 days to raise awareness about the vital importance of valuing the water of our planet.
On Marathon 62, Mina suffered multiple stress fractures to her right femur. #RunningDry will continue as a movement, as she is inviting people to help her log a marathon a day by donating kilometers. As for her, she is continuing on the journey, meeting water heroes and telling stories of people in water crisis areas around the world.
