Woman to run 1,800-mile length of Colorado River for drought awareness
Ultrarunner Mina Guli says she doesn’t actually love running. The Thirst Foundation nonprofit CEO is somewhat of a living contradiction, after running 200 marathons in 2022 across 32 countries to bring awareness to the world’s water crises that are being roiled by warming temperatures. … This summer, Guli plans to run the 1,800-mile span of the Colorado River, all the way from the headwaters in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains to the Colorado River Delta outside of Mexicali, Mexico, before finishing in Los Angeles. … She hopes her run will sound alarm bells for the rapidly drying, beating heart that keeps taps flowing in Las Vegas and throughout the American West: the Colorado River.
