Led by a dashing white horse, the Gallop will begin at the fire station and take runners through a scenic excursion over rolling farmlands traveling on Route 897 and Old Philadelphia Pike. The race finishes with a free community day celebration featuring activities for all ages including fire engine and ambulance “touch-a-truck” opportunities, a bounce house, candy drop from a ladder truck, safety demonstrations, and a helicopter landing by Pennsylvania State Police.
Breakfast will be available from 6:30-10:00 AM with sandwiches and breakfast bowls along with a coffee bar serving lattes and spritzers. Lunch will be available from 10:00 AM-12:00 PM featuring pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, and fries.
Proceeds from the White Horse Gallop will support the White Horse Fire & EMS station expansion.
Volunteers are still needed to help plan and coordinate the event this year as well as with future events. (Who should be listed as the Gallop volunteer contact?)
Sponsorship opportunities are available and include promotion during the event, for details click here.
The White Horse Gallop was initiated to promote healthy individuals to support strong families and servant communities. Races will be held rain or shine.
