Second Annual Groundhog Gallop

Welcome to the Second Annual Groundhog Gallop fundraising page! The Groundhog Gallop was created as a free half marathon/10k in 2015 to promote health and running and to raise money for a good cause. 

This year's Groundhog Gallop will take place on Sunday, January 31st along the Sawyer Camp Trail at Cyrstal Spring Reservoir in San Mateo. The 10k and Half Marathon will both start at 9am. 

While this race is entirely free, we would appreciate if participants and supporters donate to the ALS Association.

Established in 1985, The ALS Association is the only national non-profit organization fighting Lou Gehrig’s Disease on every front. By leading the way in global research, providing assistance for people with ALS through a nationwide network of chapters, coordinating multidisciplinary care through certified clinical care centers, and fostering government partnerships, The Association builds hope and enhances quality of life while aggressively searching for new treatments and a cure.

As the preeminent ALS organization, The Association leads the way in research, care services, public education, and public policy — giving help and hope to those facing the disease. The Association’s nationwide network of chapters provides comprehensive patient services and support to the ALS community. The mission of The ALS Association is to lead the fight to treat and cure ALS through global research and nationwide advocacy, while also empowering people with Lou Gehrig’s Disease and their families to live fuller lives by providing them with compassionate care and support.

At last year's Groundhog Gallop, we raised $688 dollars for the ALS Association. This year we are aiming to raise $1,000.
