Elliott's Run

We hope that everyone in the community will come out to enjoy this beloved Galloway tradition—a 1-mile Kid's Fun Run and a 5K Road Race. It was late in Elliott Galloway's life that he took to running, but once he started, he could not be stopped. He believed deeply that "The physically fit body leads to a sound mind and a peaceful soul."

Again this year, the race will take place at the Galloway Athletics Complex on DeFoors Ferry Road on Sunday, November 18. The Fun Run will begin at 1 p.m. and the 5K will begin at 1:30. After the race, there will be snacks, crafts, live music (provided by Galloway community bands), and an awesome bouncy obstacle course. All proceeds will benefit the Elliott Galloway Scholarship Fund.

There are a couple of options for registration. Click here to download the registration form, and fill out one form for each runner. (Make the check payable to the Galloway Parents Association.) Forms can be turned in at The Galloway School. Alternatively, click here to complete your registration online and pay using a credit card. (There is a small convenience fee charged by active.com.)
