The Johnny Townsend Foundation is back for a 3rd year in a row hosting Gator Gallop.

Gator Gallop is a ‘fun run’ through the heart of University of Florida’s campus and the official kickoff event for UF Homecoming weekend. Gator Gallop featured over 700 runners last year, and plans to exceed 1,000 runners in 2024. Each year, Gator Gallop features a celebrity athlete to shotgun start the race - last year, Olympian and NCAA record holder Anna Hall kicked off the festivities!

Each participant has the opportunity to run in honor of their charity of choice.
