Run For The Water : Austin
Run For The Water is an annual fundraising road race in downtown Austin presented by the Gazelle Foundation. The 20th anniversary edition offers multiple distance options and directs 100% of event proceeds to building water systems in Burundi.
The course moves from downtown to Tarrytown and includes hills and waterfront sections, with a finish designed to be flat and speedy. The event is described as Austin’s largest fall downtown waterfront race and includes the city’s only 10 Miler.
Distances:
- 5K
- 10 Miler

The 10 Miler features a timed Hill Challenge on a 600 meter segment; participation in that challenge is automatic for all 10-miler entrants and winners are recognized at the Winner’s Circle. Every registered runner receives a complimentary 10-week, self-guided training plan; the plan is emailed to registered runners on 8/28, and registrants beginning 8/29 receive the plan with their registration confirmation.
Event resources include a participant guide, course maps, street closure information, race results and photos, team and corporate options, fundraising and volunteer opportunities, and media materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
