Run For The Water in Austin and Change Lives in Africa

runforthewater.com ON COURSE

CARRY THE WATER TEAM! CHEER STATIONS

To show our solidarity with our friends in Burundi, we will have two, six-person teams walk the 5K route carrying filled water jugs, weighing 30-40 lbs. Most Burundians will walk an average of three miles to fetch contaminated water from local streams and rivers. Run for the Water helps to reduce this distance to just 1/4 of a mile -just one Lululemon Cheer Station lap around the track- and for clean water! at the 5K/10 mile split ------
