Jacksonville Galloway
Join Jacksonville’s premier Run-Walk-Run group and train for your next race with proven Jeff Galloway methods.
Train Together, Achieve Together
Whether you’re lacing up for the first time or you’ve logged hundreds of miles, our local training groups give you the support and structure to reach your goals. Runners around the world use the Galloway Run Walk Run method to build fitness, prevent injury, and actually enjoy the process.
Here’s the thing about training with a group: it works. Jeff Galloway’s program has a 98% success rate for those who stick with it. When you train as a team, you share the tough days, celebrate the wins, and keep each other motivated when it matters most. You’ll give support and get it right back. And along the way, you’ll likely make friendships that last well beyond race day.
What You’ll Get From Your Group
Our main goal? Getting you to the finish line injury-free and feeling strong.
- A group gets you out the door on those mornings when your bed feels way too comfortable
- Supporting others is just as rewarding as getting support yourself
- Your group keeps you from doing too much or too little, which is key to staying healthy
- The miles fly by when you’re running with others and sharing stories
- You’ll be part of a laid-back but focused community working toward the same mission

Sarah has completed 22 marathons using “Jeffing.” She went from joining Jax Galloway to group leading to now co-directing with Dennis Holler. She loves nothing more than helping others achieve their running goals.
A Message From Sarah
The Jacksonville Galloway Training Program is open to anyone who is interested in fulfilling a lifetime goal of running a half or full marathon, as well as anyone simply maintaining their fitness. Official training begins in July each year for a local fall half marathon and DONNA full marathon (February of following year). Training for the DONNA half marathon begins in October each year. We also always have members training for various other races on their respective bucket lists!
We truly welcome all paces and levels; our pace groups currently range from about 10 minutes per mile to walking. Pace groups are set in late July based on the Galloway Magic Mile to ensure a comfortable and safe training pace for every ability.
