Gilbert Tuhabonye, Gazelle Foundation co-founder, and many luminaries from Austin’s running community share how Run For The Water got started 19 years ago and the impact it is making in rural Burundi.
We are proud to announce Austin Swim Club as presenting partner of the Starting Line at Run For The Water. In honor of this partnership, Austin Swim Club will generously contribute $10 to the Gazelle Foundation's R4TW for every 5K and 10-Miler registration received between now and Sunday September 28th, making your registration even impactful.
For 31 years, Gilbert Tuhabonye hosts an annual Walk Towards Forgiveness: An Anniversary of Life, Love and Clean Water. The annual remembrance honors his decision to live life with joy, faith, perseverance, and forgiveness after surviving genocide. As a result, the Gazelle Foundation was created to bring life-saving clean water and hope to people in Burundi.
In remembrance of the tragic events of 1993, and to celebrate the strength in resilience of Gilbert’s 30th anniversary, we're announcing a generous match for all funds raised by our campaign up to $10,000, including monthly donations.
