Run for the Water 10 Miler

The Run for the Water is produced by and benefits the Gazelle Foundation. Thanks to participation in the last five years we have been able to provide over 11,500 Burundians with access to clean water for their remainder of their life through the implementation of water systems. For every registrant in the race the Gazelle Foundation is able to provide clean water to one additional person in Burundi. For life.
