We hosted our first-ever virtual town hall with running legend, and local celebrity, Gilbert Tuhaboyne, and all those registered for Global Run For The Water were invited. The free event was an opportunity to ask Gilbert questions ranging from training and finding motivation, to life and overcoming obstacles. Gilbert also discussed how your participation and support is changing the lives of people in Burundi. Learn more about why water matters and our work.

“Focus on the positives in life. Don’t focus on someone else. Don’t compare yourself to anybody else, not even your own old PR’s! But always have a way to measure your own progress.”
The event was moderated by Courtney Waldren, executive director of the Gazelle Foundation. Space was extremely limited and first-come, first-served. The town hall conversation was part of our Global Run Community, a community created to support your training and provide incentives along the way to keep you motivated toward achieving your goals. All are welcome to join the Global Run Community! Learn more here.
