Wednesday, August 26, 2009 | General
The SunTrust Gator Gallop, the annual two-mile fun run, is set to kick off 2009 Homecoming festivities on the morning of Friday, October 16th. Each year, hundreds of students, faculty, and families participate in the annual event, which immediately precedes the Homecoming Parade. Gator Gallop invites Gator fans of all ages to walk, roll, run, or bring their pets as they follow part of the Parade route down University Avenue. The annual event is sponsored by SunTrust, Florida Blue Key, and the University Athletic Association.
The race will start at 11:30 a.m. for walkers/runners and 11:15 a.m. for all others. Proceeds will go to the University Athletic Association Track & Field program and Florida Blue Key, with awards being given to both the overall male and female winners of the Gator Gallop.
