Galloway Gallop fun run is coming to Friendswood

The Galloway School will hold its 10th annual Galloway Gallop Mardi Gras Fun Run, beginning at 8 a.m. on Feb. 11 at the Kemah Boardwalk.

The run will feature prizes and a finish-line party, which will include refreshments, music and activities for kids. The run benefits the Galloway School, which according to a press release is an accredited, nondenominational, nonprofit private school for students in pre-kindergarten through third grade.

Cash prizes of $75 will be awarded to the first male and female finishers in the 5K and 10K races. Awards will be presented to the top three finishers in all 13 categories for both races.

Entry fees are $20 for the 5K and 10K runs. Registration for the Kid K costs $15 and includes a T-shirt and race packet. Fees increase by $5 after Friday, Jan. 27. The run will be followed by the Kemah Mardi Gras street parade at 11 a.m. at the corner of Fifth and Bradford streets.
