For 18 years running, the Gazelle Foundation has thrown the best race in town. Each November, thousands of runners and walkers take to the streets of downtown Austin for the annual Run For The Water 5K, 10-Miler and Kids K through the beautiful West Austin course.
The Gazelle Foundation Run For The Water presented by findhelp 10-Miler on November 3, 2024, in Austin, TX (78703) is a well-established race with a significant history of supporting clean water initiatives. Participants can expect a challenging but rewarding 10-mile course that typically winds through Austin's scenic Zilker Park and along the Lady Bird Lake Hike-and-Bike Trail. The terrain is predominantly paved, offering a relatively smooth running surface, though there are some rolling hills that can test runners' endurance. Weather in early November in Austin is generally pleasant, with cooler temperatures and lower humidity, making for favorable race conditions, though participants should always be prepared for potential variations. This event stands out not only for its scenic route but also for its impactful mission. All proceeds from the Run For The Water directly benefit the Gazelle Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing sustainable access to clean water for communities in Rwanda. Runners are encouraged to fundraise, amplifying their contribution to this vital cause. The race typically attracts a diverse range of runners, from competitive athletes aiming for personal bests to recreational participants running for fitness and charity.
