The 11th edition of the “Race for Water”, organised by A Drop of Life, was scheduled to take place on March 22 but would no longer proceed, according to the organiser, which did not provide reasons for the cancellation.
“After careful consideration, A Drop of Life has decided to cancel the ‘Race for Water 2026’ event originally scheduled for March 22, 2026,” the organiser said in a Facebook post.
It added that all registration fees and donations would be fully refunded, with details to be shared shortly.
The organisation also apologised for the inconvenience caused while reaffirming its commitment to using all proceeds for its charitable mission.
