    I'm excited to participate in the Galloping Gobbler again this year! Is there a specific organization or cause that registration proceeds go toward? Thanks!

      Veep Races contributes to 3 high school cross country programs, Saint Francis, Girls on the Run, and the Feed the Fort program of the University of Saint Francis and others as part of this event.

    This is hard to figure out. Where is the start for the 8mile race?
    1. Mitch Harper  - November 22, 12:59 AM
      Just behind the Towpath Trailhead which is on Engle Road just south of West Jeffeson Blvd. Two shuttles will take persons from Saint Francis to the race start. If you park in the office park near the race start - a return shuttle from Saint Francis will take you back after the finish.

    Just heard about this, but see online registration closed yesterday. Is it still possible to sign up any other way?

      Paper registration opens at 7:15 AM at the Hutzell Center on Thanksgiving morning.

    I signed up for the race a couple of weeks ago but just found out I unfortunately won't be able to run it as I am unable to come to town for Thanksgiving. Is there a way to cancel and/or get a refund?
    1. Mitch Harper  - November 18, 11:09 PM
      Buffy - Just made the refund and opened up a space another for the race. I am sorry you will not be able to join us - hope you can join us next year.

    My son registered for the Galloping Gobbler 8 miler, however the email that was sent out stated that he signed up for the 4 miler.....this needs to be corrected
    1. Mitch Harper  - November 11, 10:47 PM
      No correction needed. Just a small error in editing. He is signed up for the 8 miler.
