Giddy Up & Gallop To Raise Funds for TEAD Gallop Fun Run scheduled for Saturday, May 31 at Mohawk Racetrack. This year’s event will benefit The Equestrian Association for the Disabled (TEAD)
The event features two individual races around Mohawk Racetrack’s seven-eighths of a mile track, one for adults and one for children under the age of 14.
Adult runners will race 5k (over 3 laps of the track) and the children’s fun run is a one-lap (7/8 mile) event. Plans are also in the works for the Mascot Invitational Challenge, a 100 metre sprint which features mascots from different sports teams in the area. The inaugural Mascot Challenge in 2006 was won by Stripes, the mascot for the Hamilton Tiger Cats.
Following all of the runs there will be a barbeque and awards ceremony for all participants. Additionally, all runners will be invited to stay for Horseplay, a special Open House event which takes place from 5 to 7 p.m. and the harness races that start at 7:30 p.m.
See what it’s like to run on Canada’s fastest racetrack. Your friends and family members can sit in the grandstand or stand trackside and cheer you on! The race will also be shown on the infield jumbotron.
The mascot race will take place at 3:15 p.m., the kids’ one lap race starts at 3:30 p.m. and will be followed by the 5K race. Opening ceremonies take place at 3 p.m.
Registration is now available on-line at www.runningroom.com
