About this race
Run For The Water takes place in November in downtown Austin, presented by the Gazelle Foundation. Over 5,000 runners and walkers participate in the 10-miler, 5K, and Kids K, accommodating serious runners, casual participants, and families on the same morning.
The course leads participants from downtown into west Austin, offering the longer race more space than a basic city-center circuit. The event has been held for 18 years, and its motto, “One Race. A Lifetime of Change.”, connects the race directly to the Gazelle Foundation’s mission, distinguishing it from typical local road races.
