Join the Cause:

The Good Hope Green 5K transcends the typical race experience; it's a collective force propelling positive change globally. Whether you're a seasoned runner, a local business with a heart for community, or an individual deeply committed to making a meaningful impact, we extend an invitation to join this transformative event.

In regions where safe water is a rarity, the struggle is real. Each day, rural communities in Africa grapple with the harsh reality that around 24% of the 1.37 billion people on the continent lack access to clean and safe water for vital needs—drinking, household use, sanitation, and agriculture. This grim situation has led to tragic deaths and rampant diseases, disproportionately affecting the youngest members of these communities.

In some instances, villagers must endure journeys of up to four miles simply to procure drinkable water. The Good Hope Green 5K seeks to change this narrative by channeling its collective energy and resources towards the construction of wells, offering a lifeline to communities battling the perilous effects of water scarcity.

About Good Hope, Inc.:

Good Hope, Inc., a nonprofit organization, exists to bring health and growth opportunities to individuals and families through the provision of food, medical care, education, clean drinking water, inmate and refugee support in communities locally and around the world. Because of the Executive Director’s roots in Kenya, in 2014 a partnership was built in which digging wells and providing water became a central focus of the organization. A 5K race was established on the North Shore of Boston to raise funds to dig the first well in Kenya. In the following years, wells have been dug in Tanzania, Ghana, Morocco, and subsequently a few more in Kenya. The Good Hope Green 5K is one of our flagship events, embodying the spirit of community, unity, and service.
