Gallop & Gorge 8K

Online registration will close on Tuesday, November 21, at midnight. 

In-person registration and bib pickup will be available at Fleet Feet in Carrboro on Wednesday, November 22, from 12-5 pm.
You may also pick up your bib and register on race day morning at Fleet Feet in Carrboro, 6:30-7:45 am.

Race entries are not refundable and are not transferable, i.e., you cannot give your bib number to someone else. By doing so, the results (awards, age group, and overall) will be incorrect.

The course starts and finishes on Weaver Street, in front of the Weaver Street Market in downtown Carrboro.

Little Turkey Kids Races are FREE for children aged 2-9, and will be held on the Libba Cotten Bikeway behind the Fleet Feet building after the race awards presentation. Participants will be divided into age groups 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, and 8-9, and then will race to the finish line. There is no pre-registration, but parents must sign a release form before the events.
Also, join us at Fleet Feet before or during the race for chalk drawing, jump ropes, hula hoops, and more!

Baby strollers and joggers are permitted, but for the safety of all participants, please start at the back behind the runners and walkers.

Pets are not allowed on the race course.

We encourage everyone to join us at our events. If you want to walk the course, that's great. However, if the trailing police car passes you, you must follow normal pedestrian rules -- move to the sidewalk or side of the road. Our timing service tries to capture the time for everyone who crosses the finish line, so even if the police close the course, you should receive a finish time.
