Gainesville Galloway Training Program

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 Race the Tortoise 5k, Trail of Payne 10k 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!

Contact Program Director Elizabeth Hanselman at GainesvilleRunWalkRun@gmail.com or 352-214-6836. We are excited to have you Run/Walk/Run with us!

Is this group right for me?

The Jeff Galloway training approach is suitable for all levels and all ages! We focus on achieving your goal distance, injury free while having fun and building fitness. Bring a friend and join us for one of our Saturday morning weekly group runs (first session is free) and experience great camaraderie, effective training and lots of support. We meet at various locations in the Gainesville area - mostly on asphalt bike paths - that are safe and scenic. Email us for more information.
