Thank you to everyone who made the Gator Gallop a success: our sponsors, volunteers, pledge-drive supporters, and the parents who spent the entire year organizing the event. The weather (mostly) cooperated, and it was wonderful to see Greenwood families and the greater Wakefield community come together.

Special thank-yous to our construction crew, the WMHS Track Team members who ran with the kids, Rosanne Russell from Move2Joy Yoga who led the Kids’ Warmup, and our sponsor Dance Track Studio for some fun performances!

The Gallop Steering Committee (Ally Houghton, Laura Hubert, Brandon Moulton, Dan Abreu, Krista Kitowicz) thanks all of the volunteers who worked with us to make the event a success — please reach out to any of us with any questions or feedback for next year!

Congratulations to all the participants of the Gator Gallop 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run. A special shout-out to the Greenwood staff members who ran the 5K: Ms. Back and Ms. Holland!
