Meet #runforthewater Ambassador, Mariana: "I am a mother of 3 boys and work full time. I began running 4 years ago. Running has brought me not just joy but also great people to my life. I can't believe how supportive my running community is. It has also made me stronger both physically and mentally. It has showed me that I can achieve what I want if I work for it. So I believe more in myself every day.

Being a Run for the Water Ambassador is important to me because I want my kids and more people to know that we don't need a lot of money to change someone's life. I want them to know that there are other ways for us to help the world around us. It might not be a lot to us, but for someone out there it is." Run For The Water race date is Nov 3!

Meet #runforthewater Ambassador Jen:

Jen started running late in high school when she quit playing volleyball and thought it was time to take advantage of Austin High’s pristine Town Lake location. Inspired by a teacher to run the 3M half marathon her senior year, she was introduced to the amazing Austin running community and is thankful to be a part of it. Her first marathon was Austin in 2009, which was the same season she completed the Distance Challenge and ran her first Run for the Water. Currently training with #Rogue to run CIM in December, Jen is happy to be a R4TW Ambassador and promote a race that is not only quintessentially Austin but does so much good for so many people. A self-proclaimed Gilbert fan girl, Jen loves the reminder to do everything with joy and truly thinks it makes the most trying tasks valuable encounters.

A UT grad, Jen is proud of her Austin upbringing and tries to incorporate the best of the city in everything she does. You can find her early mornings running around the trail and cooling off in Barton Springs, yoga-ing at Wanderlust, or eating breakfast tacos with her husband, Kyle, and their goldendoodle Daisy.

Meet #runforthewater Ambassador Jama:

My running career has spanned 30 years. From my first mile on the track in junior high, to celebrating my 40 birthday with another full marathon, I never stopped running. I have run and/or paced everything from a 5k to a 100 mile ultra. This will be my 5th R4TW, including the very first one back in 07. My 10 mile PR (1:21) is also on this course. It’s special to me because it combines two things I love most, running and giving back to an amazing cause. Running is a lifestyle I get to enjoy thanks to the many things we take for granted daily. Not everyone has those same privileges, so the least I can do is run and raise awareness for those who can’t and don’t even have the privilege of so much, including clean water.
