About this race

About Jeff Galloway’s Program:

The Jeff Galloway Training Program is the Official Training Program of 26.2 with DONNA The National Marathon to Finish Breast Cancer.  We also train for all races that Galloway Pacers serve, including but not limited to Disney Marathon and Half Marathons, Ameris Bank, ZOOMA and Space Coast. The Galloway Run/Walk/Run Training Program is open to anyone who is interested in fulfilling a lifetime goal: of running a 5k, half marathon, or marathon. The training group welcomes all levels, from beginners to Boston qualifiers.  Pace groups are set up to ensure a comfortable and safe training pace for every ability.  We would love to have you, but if you're not certain about whether to join, email us at [email protected] or call Dennis 904-881-3909

General Info:  

The Jacksonville Galloway Training Program follows Olympian Jeff Galloway’s training guidelines to get you safely across the finish line of a 5k, half or full marathon. 

Our group runs feature walking breaks at regular intervals based on your skill level. Pace groups are set up according to current fitness level, and a Group Leader is assigned to keep the speed slow enough for all members and to enforce walk breaks from the beginning to the end.

Members receive the best training possible with the additional help of our training partners in nutrition, cross training, recovery, and apparel. Each week our training partners educate you to ensure your running at your best!

What to expect

Written from race data

The Jacksonville Galloway Training Program is launching its "Getting Started 5K Program" with a kickoff event on **June 1, 2024**, in **Jacksonville, FL (32217)**. This event signals the commencement of a structured training initiative designed to guide participants of all levels towards successfully completing a 5K race. While specific race history for this particular introductory program is nascent, the Galloway Method itself is a well-established and highly successful training philosophy focused on run-walk intervals, making it an accessible and achievable goal for beginners. Participants should expect a supportive and encouraging environment, emphasizing gradual progression and injury prevention. The focus is on building endurance and confidence through consistent training sessions, typically including group runs led by certified Galloway RunLeaders. The terrain for this event and the subsequent training program is expected to be primarily **road-based**, likely within the local Jacksonville area, offering a typical urban or suburban running experience. Participants should anticipate moderate weather conditions for early June in Florida, which can include warmth and humidity, necessitating proper hydration and preparation. While this specific event is an introductory 5K program, a notable feature is its affiliation with the Galloway Run-Walk-Run method, known for its effectiveness in enabling a wide range of individuals, from complete beginners to experienced runners, to reach their race goals without injury. This program is an excellent opportunity to kickstart a running journey with a proven methodology and a supportive community.
