Gator Gallop 5K and Kids’ Fun Run

May 4, 2025, will mark the 12th annual Gator Gallop, an incredible event that draws attention from all of Wakefield and surrounding communities.

Instead of selling cookie dough or popcorn, the Gallop is the only full-scale fundraiser we have during the year, and it provides the large majority of funding for the PTO's events and enrichment programs.

There are three streams of revenue for the Gator Gallop:

  1. Business and Community Sponsorship;

  2. Student Pledge Drive;

  3. Runner Race Registrations.
