Gazelle Foundation co-founder Gilbert Tuhabonye has always said, “Rain is a blessing.” And we certainly had plenty of it on Sunday, November 8! Learn more about Gilbert Tuhabonye.
The anticipation at the starting line. The blast of the horn. Big climbs on the Hill Challenge. Course records shattered. Kids K runners giving it their all. Finish-line cheers, high-fives, and an exclusive 20th anniversary medal for every finisher. Burundian drums echoing across the bridge against the Austin skyline. And a Finish Line Festival packed with community tailgate, great local food, drum performances, sponsor demos, giveaways, and plenty of swag.
Our Global Run participants joined from around the world, while here in Austin, runners took on the RRCA Texas State 10-Mile Championship. The City of Austin even proclaimed November 8, 2026, Run For The Water Day!
One wet, wonderful, unforgettable Run For The Water, presented by findhelp!
