October 2026 DC Water For People Hike
About this Event
The Washington, DC Water For People Committee is hosting our annual hike fundraiser on Saturday, October 17, 2026! We'll once again be returning to Rock Creek Park in Washington, DC, for a rolling (no more than) 5 mile hike in the woods - that's shorter than the average woman walks daily to get to a water source. New this year - a Little Legs Loop! A shorter kid friendly hike that still includes all the fun and opportunity for prizes as the main hike.
We'll be starting at Rock Creek Park Picnic Area 13. Please enter that into your GPS or mapping tool (the map in Eventbrite is showing an incorrect location). Directions, along with other day of information, will be emailed to everyone who signs up.
Sign-in starts at 9:30 am. We will have coffee beforehand. The hike will begin around 10:00 am. We will have trivia checkpoints along the way so you don't get lost, and also for a chance to win fun prizes. Afterwards, there will be lunch and a random prize drawing. Leashed dogs are welcome. The event is rain or shine. Sorry no refunds.
Register by September 20th to get a discount. Kids under 6 are free (but please still register them). Want even more discount? Recruit your friends and register as a Team! Also new this year - we have a Family Pack registration option, which includes 2 adults and up to 3 children.
For more information, email [email protected]. Sponsorship opportunities available! All proceeds from the event will be donated to Water For People to help reach Everyone Forever.
Can't make the hike? You can join us virtually too!
