2020 Run For The Water Goes Global

2020 Run For The Water Goes Global

The 2020 Run For The Water will be entirely virtual. The City of Austin has extended its orders to limit gatherings to prevent the further spread of COVID-19 through mid-December. While we will miss seeing you along our beautiful race course, our primary concern is keeping our participants, volunteers, staff and vendors safe.

Even though the race is virtual, your support of clean water is very, very real. Now more than ever, people in Burundi need access clean water for good hygiene as the first line of defense against COVID-19. We know that our mission of bringing together runners and supporters to challenge themselves while providing clean water is, in some ways, more important than ever. Your race registration ensures that we can continue to provide that access to the people who need it the most.
