📣💧🏃 Announcing the #WorldRiverRun 2025! 📣💧🏃‍ On 28 September, World Rivers Day, we’re partnering with @wetlandsint.bsky.social to bring back a #RunBlue classic: the #WorldRiverRun!

Leaving Stockholm after #WorldWaterWeek, I carried with me two feelings that don’t sit easily together: hope for what’s possible, and concern for where we are falling short.

Hello from Stockholm 👋 I’m here for #WorldWaterWeek, the biggest global gathering on water, where we come together to share ideas, challenges and solutions. This year’s theme is all about water and climate, and how we speed up action that tackles both.

People often meet me and say, 'You must be an amazing runner.' I'm not. So far from it. I find it really hard and, to be honest, I don't really enjoy it.

If you’ve ever questioned whether you can really make a difference, ask yourself this instead: If not me, then who? If not now, then when?

Incredible scenes as the Seine opens for public swimming after 100 years. Just decades ago, this iconic river was declared functionally dead. Look at it now! 💙🏊‍♀️🇫🇷 #SeineRiverRun www.bbc.com/news/article...

#PlasticFreeJuly starts today! None of us can do everything, but all of us can do something. The 5Rs serve as a compass, helping us rethink our relationship with plastic: 🛑 Refuse what you don’t need ➖ Reduce what you do 🔁 Reuse what you can 🔧 Repurpose creatively ♻️ Recycle only as a last resort

Word of the Day: Pluviophile 🌧️🌿 If you’ve ever smiled at the rain tapping on your roof, watched its droplets race down your window, or stepped outside just to breathe the air after it falls — this one’s for you 💧💙 #WaterIsLife

Happy Mother’s Day to my awesome, beautiful, amazing Mama! Thank you for the endless love, the pep talks, the laughs, and the way you somehow always know exactly what I need (even before I do!) You’re my rock, my cheerleader, my heart. Love you always, Mama

Clean water, sanitation and hygiene are the foundation of public health, but they’re still out of reach for too many people. Over 1.5 billion people don’t have basic sanitation. Millions still defecate in the open. Nearly half of the world’s household wastewater flows untreated back into nature.

Almost exactly three years ago, I ran through Birdsville as part of our #RunBlue campaign. Back then, it was red desert – dry, hot, stretching endlessly in every direction. The town hadn’t seen rain in a while.

Wow. Just wow. It’s been a few days, and we're still in awe of the #WorldWaterRelay and our extraordinary community that made it happen. Stay tuned. Our final video is coming soon, and we can’t wait to share it with you all! 🏞️🏃‍♀️🎥

That’s a WRAP on the #WorldWaterRelay! 🌍💧🏃‍♀️ For 24 hours, you passed the baton across continents, time zones, and communities, showing the world that together, we are unstoppable. Stay tuned for our EPIC #WorldWaterRelay video next week, featuring all of you, passing the baton across the world 💙

Final stretch of the #WorldWaterRelay, let’s go! 🌎💧🏃🏼‍♀️

Thousands of people around the world are giving their #HourForEarth by running the #WorldWaterRelay - taking 60 minutes of action for our planet’s most precious resource. How are you celebrating #EarthHour? 🌍💧

🔴 The #WorldWaterRelay is LIVE! 🏃‍♀️ As the sun rises in New Zealand, we’re kicking off the biggest global relay for water in honour of #WorldWaterDay Runners across the world are uniting to shine a spotlight on the global water crisis. Let’s show the world what we can do when we come together 🌍🤝💧

WWF and GlobeScan's Future Water Agenda Report is live! 🌍💧 With input from over 30,000 people across 31 countries and 350+ global experts, the findings are clear: water risks are rising, and current efforts are falling short. To address this, we need bold, collective action and real accountability.

Looking forward to participating in this upcoming webinar on The Future Water Agenda Program!💧 I’ll be joining an incredible panel to explore fresh insights from WWF and GlobeScan's groundbreaking research, which is driving collective action on global water challenges.

Just 5 DAYS until the #WorldWaterRelay kicks off! 🌍🏃‍♂️💧 24 hours. 1 global relay. A wave of people running for water, from sunrise to sunset. Are you in? Get involved at runblue.org ⬅️

Restoring healthy rivers is possible - and the Vjosa River is proof. The Vjosa River is one of Europe’s last wild, free-flowing rivers. But it was nearly lost to hydropower development, a project that risked flooding valleys, drying riverbeds, and destroying biodiversity. But people said NO.

📣💧🏃‍♀️ Announcing the #WorldWaterRelay 2025! 📣💧🏃‍♀️ This World Water Day, we're undertaking a world first: Run Blue is facilitating the largest global relay for water the world has ever seen!

We kicked off something special last week... our first ever RUN BLUE Run Club at the Visit Qatar E1 Doha GP 🌍💙👟 Westbrook Racing team members and E1 representatives came together - not just to run, but to stand up for water.

Social justice means fighting for a world where everyone has access to clean water. Because without it, there is no equality or even the most basic level of dignity 💧🌍 #SocialJusticeDay #WorldDayofSocialJustice

I love this creek ❤️ I love the way it flows from the wetlands nearby, the way the light hits the water just right in the early mornings, the way the birds gather, calling this place home. I love how it’s been here long before me, how it keeps moving, how it connects everything around it.

From sunrise runs to walks with Rafa, these little moments make the big plans even more exciting 🌅🐾🏃‍♀️ Very busy with lots happening behind the scenes, but for now, just enjoying being home in Oz! What have you been up to? 🤗💙

There’s something about water. The way it moves, the way it never clings too tightly, the way it knows how to let go. Today, let’s do the same 💧🍃✨

Some days, change feels impossible. But even the smallest actions can shift the dial, from turning off a tap to rethinking a purchase or starting a conversation. The climate crisis is huge, but we are not powerless. What is one small thing you can do today? 🌍💚

Water isn’t just something we drink. It’s in the lights we turn on, the food we eat, the homes we live in. Did you know it takes 3,781 litres of water to make a single pair of jeans?

We often talk about water as if it’s infinite. It’s not. The challenges I’ve faced have taught me that everything – every drop, every step, every choice – matters. What we do today will decide what’s left tomorrow 🌍💧

Every day, I make time to write. First thing in the morning, I clear my head and set intentions for the day. Then, before bed, I reflect. It’s a simple habit that helps me stay connected to what matters, especially on tough days.

People assume I love running. Truth is, I don’t. It’s difficult, and I’m not good at it. But running has taught me something powerful: Small, consistent steps can lead to extraordinary change. It’s not about perfection - it’s about pushing through, even when the it feels hard and uncomfortable.

Such a pleasure joining my good friend Will Sarni to talk about the power of storytelling, collective action and driving systemic change. A fantastic conversation, well worth tuning into! 🎧💧🌍 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bddv...

High in Tajikistan’s Pamir Mountains, I stood on Glacier 69. In the Swiss Alps, I ran along the Moiry Glacier. In both places, I heard the same story: the ice is disappearing and water is disappearing with it.

2024 was the hottest year on record. 2025 is our chance to do something about it. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Terrifying scenes as wildfires rage through California. Fires like these are becoming more intense and unpredictable across the world – some in my own backyard, others far from the headlines. This is climate change in action. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Running through landscapes like these, I’ve felt both awe and grief. Awe for what the Earth has given us, grief for what we’ve destroyed and lost. What will it take for us to finally say enough?

We treat rivers as pipelines, not ecosystems, and then wonder why they disappear 💔💧

As we settle into 2025, I’ve been thinking about what 2024 taught me. Here are three lessons that stand out:

The kind of sunrise that stops you in your tracks 🌅 🧡 Taken on Marathon 63 of 200 during our #RunBlue expedition. Moments like this remind you to take a breath, soak it all in, and keep going 🏃🏼‍♀️ 📍 Maun, Botswana

What a day for water! 🇦🇺💧👇 At the One Water Summit, Australia officially joined the #FreshwaterChallenge, the largest global initiative to restore rivers, lakes, and wetlands. (1/3)

It’s hard to believe we’re already in December! 🤯 The last couple of weeks have been full of training, meetings and setting goals for 2025. Planning for the year ahead is always an exciting challenge! What are you focusing on as 2024 winds down? 💙😊

It rained heavily last night and so I woke up to find my river had turned dark grey/almost black with a sheen of oil stretching along its entire surface. Road run off really looks like the next sewage scandal in the making. We are allowing a cocktail of damaging chemicals to wash into our rivers.

For too long, we’ve treated rivers as pipelines, valuing only the water they carry, not the life they sustain. This mindset has pushed us to the brink. We need to shift from exploiting nature to protecting it, because without healthy ecosystems, there is no healthy future 💧🌍🌱

I’ve run across deserts where water seems like a distant memory. Down rivers that are drying up faster than anyone imagined. Across glaciers that are disappearing before our eyes. Along the way, I’ve met thousands of people who have shared their water stories:

Our rivers deserve better than this.
