Gilbert Tuhabonye leads the Foundation, he is a renowned motivational speaker and local running coach. Gilbert is a survivor of genocide, having been locked in a burning building with 150 of his classmates during the civil war that plagued his country from the early 90’s to mid-2000’s. The only one to escape, Gilbert used his running ability to eventually make it to the US, carry the Olympic torch in ’96, win multiple National Championships as a collegiate runner, and now give back to the Austin community through his Gilbert’s Gazelles training group, as the coach at St. Andrews High School, and the Gazelle Foundation. Naturally, he decided that a road race would be our marquee event and fundraiser, the race has enjoyed a steady increase of participants, we hope you'll join us on race day for 5k, 10-miler or Kids-k.
Since 2009, the Gazelle Foundation has built water systems in Burundi efficiently and effectively. With our streamlined approach, we maximize our efforts and resources to provide tangible results that directly benefit the people of Burundi. Learn more about clean water projects we've built.
