Run For The Water - Austin
Run For The Water is an annual fundraising race organized by the Gazelle Foundation. The 20th anniversary event takes place on Sunday, November 8, 2026, in downtown Austin and uses a west Austin course that moves from downtown to Tarrytown, includes hilly and waterfront sections, and finishes on a flat section intended for faster times.
The event typically draws over 5,000 runners and walkers each November and channels 100% of event proceeds back to the foundation’s mission of building water systems in Burundi to improve health, education, and community opportunities.
Distances offered:
- 10 mile
- 5K
- Kids K
A Hill Challenge is part of the 10 mile course: the fastest athletes on a 600 meter segment are recognized, entry is automatic for all 10 mile participants, and winners are presented at the Winner’s Circle. Route details and community challenges are available through Club Run For The Water on Strava, where participants can view the course and engage with event updates and local running activities.
