The 12 week program is designed for beginner walkers and runners hoping to walk or run their first 5K race. The purpose of the program is to introduce participants to the lifetime fitness activities of walking and running and to encourage healthier lifestyles.

No Boundaries will offer participants guidance and advice from experienced coaches, weekly group training runs/walks, and educational clinics on topics such as nutrition, choosing the right gear, and avoiding injury.

We’ve raised over $100,000 for greenway construction in the past 3 years, and we’re hoping to make the 4th annual Gallop our most successful event ever. The most obvious signs of our progress are the new connector section of the Roanoke River Greenway at Roanoke Memorial Hospital, and the soon to be completed path at Vic Thomas park on the former site of the Hannah Park Trailer Court.

We need your help to prepare for the 2010 Gallop 4 The Greenways. We’re looking for volunteers who can help with planning, marketing, sponsorship sales, and everything else required to pull off an event of this magnitude. Volunteering is a great way to show your support for one of our most vital recreational assets. If you would like to get involved, please contact Cary Kelly at Cary@Gallop4TheGreenways.com
