We welcome and support runners of all levels from beginners to experienced marathoners!

Gainesville Galloway also has a robust Walking Program that produces results while having fun. We are a friendly group that welcomes both walkers and runners of any ability and experience. Many of our members have been with us for years! Many of our locations also allow us to socialize afterwards while providing safe routes that accommodate the longer distances needed to prepare for half and full marathons. Come join us!

Join us to train for Key West Marathon, Running from Yeti, Tulsa Oilers Arena Challenge, Disney Princess, Go Girl Run, Flying Pig and any other event or just to stay in shape and run/walk with friends! 

Gainesville Galloway also has an All Walking Group for those who cannot or do not wish to run. Open to all from beginner to experienced competitor. We train in various locations in the Gainesville area on mostly smooth asphalt paths that are scenic and away from traffic. Our members are friendly and very encouraging. Come join us!
