Run Walk Run® wasn’t created to make running easier—it was created to make it possible.

Jeff Galloway believed that the finish line should belong to everyone, not just the fast or the fearless. He saw that with the right approach, people of all ages, paces, and backgrounds could experience the joy of moving forward.

By adding simple walk breaks, barriers came down. Injuries decreased. Confidence grew. And suddenly, people who never thought they could run… were crossing finish lines.

Run Walk Run® is more than a method.
It’s an invitation.

An invitation to start.
To keep going.
To believe that this is for you—exactly as you are.

Because the road was never meant for just a few. It was meant for all of us.

A beautiful celebration of Olympian Jeff Galloway's life & legacy yesterday held at The Galloway School in Atlanta. Lots of smiles. Lots of tears. Lots of gratitude. Lots of love.

One of the runs our athletes look forward to each training cycle is our Train Run. This season we parked at the Long Branch Train Station, ran 5 miles to the Allenhurst station & took the train back. The smiles say it all!

Follow us for more opportunities to join the fun!!!

It's TIPS & TOOLS TUESDAY!

This is another "Be like Jeff" post. Perhaps the most personal tribute to Jeff, it comes by way of a poignant interview with Jeff's wonderful wife, Barb. The interviewer? Jeff's roommate from their days at Wesleyan University: Amby Burfoot.

Enjoy: https://marathonhandbook.com/he-was-a-man-on-a-mission-barb-galloway-reflects-on-50-years-with-running-legend-jeff-galloway/

In a deeply personal podcast interview, Barb Galloway reflects on more than 50 years with running pioneer Jeff Galloway—from Olympic competition and the creation of the Run-Walk-Run method to the patience and positivity that inspired millions of runners.

Welcome to another WISDOM WEDNESDAY (what I do when I miss Tips & Tools Tuesday)!

So many beautiful tributes have been written since Jeff died. We all know him as an Olympian and creator of his Run-Walk-Run method, but exactly how important was he? Today I'd like to share the wisdom of a recently updated homage that was originally written shortly after Jeff's heart attack in April of 2021.

One omission: While the article mentions Jeff's involvement with the Peachtree Road Race (the world's largest 10K for over 10 years), it fails to acknowledge that Jeff was the winner of the inaugural race.

Galloway passed away on February 25, 2026 due to complications from a stroke. He did more for the sport of running than anyone I ever met, no matter what you think of "Gallowalking."

This week we honored another local music legend in our Count Basie Run. It took us past the childhood home of that Big Band Legend. How many miles was it? We "Counted" 5! 🤣

At Galloway Jersey Shore we have fun while moving toward improved health & running milestones. Contact us for a complimentary run.

Running with the Galloway Jersey Shore group you get great company and a history in rock music! Photo Op at the “Born to Run” house where Bruce Springsteen wrote the album (notice the plaque on the home).
