Now in its 19th year, Run For The Water returns to downtown Austin on November 9, 2025, offering a community‑friendly 5K, 10‑Miler, and Kids K that course through memorable parts of the city. Participants are greeted with music, well‑support, and meaningful mission as the Gazelle Foundation channels 100% of proceeds into constructing water systems in Burundi. New for 2025 is the “Hill Challenge” powered by lululemon—an optional timed ~600m hill segment on the 10‑Miler that adds competition with purpose. A Global Run virtual category allows runners worldwide to participate in solidarity with Austin-based runners. Each registration helps transform lives in Burundi through improved access to clean water.
