One Race – A Lifetime of Change
2022 RUN FOR THE WATER REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN! We are excited to announce the return of the Run For The Water on Sunday, November 6th, 2022 on our beautiful downtown and west Austin race course. Please join Gilbert this year in the Gazelle Foundation’s mission to provide clean water to the people of Burundi. Clean water provides a path out of poverty, bringing access to better health, stronger communities, jobs, education, and most of all: hope. Run For The Water offers options to participate in a 10 Miler, 5K, and Kids K in beautiful downtown and west Austin, as well as a virtual Global Run.
Sometimes the world can be an unfair and cruel place. Yet even amongst the worst of circumstances and in the midst of unfathomable tragedies, hope and happiness prevail.
Gilbert Tuhabonye knows this.
Gilbert has endured great suffering in his life. Yet his message isn’t one of sorrow or anger; it’s one of joy, faith and forgiveness. Driven by a desire to unleash the potential of anyone who seeks it – in running and in life – Gilbert’s indomitable spirit moves everyone he meets. He inspires others to believe that they can achieve anything, regardless of the circumstances or obstacles. He is a living reminder that humanity is greater than the sum of all the world’s injustices. And he is proof that the work of a few – or even just one – can make this world, our world, a better place.
