Ghostly Gallop

Ghostly Gallop is held in Gregg Township, Pennsylvania on October 24, 2026, with a single 5K starting at 9:00 a.m. The Old Gregg School hosts it, and the Halloween-week timing explains the name.

Township races tend to be modest in size and quick to sort themselves out after the first quarter mile, which makes this a comfortable first event and a fine one for a runner who wants a hard effort without a crowded start. Costume or no costume, the 5K asks for near-maximum output from the gun, so warm up properly and settle into a pace you can hold rather than sprinting away with the front group. Afterward, an easy jog does more for you than sitting down straight away.
