Welcome to the website for the 2023 Gate Gallop!
The 2023 event will take place on Sunday 25th June at the Anker Valley Sports Complex in Amington, Tamworth. It is an off road, traffic free event organised by the Peel Road Runners and is part of the Burton and District Summer League.
Entries for the Children’s run are on the day only (£3), with registration from 9 am.
As ever, medals and goody bags will be provided to all of the winners.
We will operate a mass-start this year for both races, and are bringing back the ever-popular cake stall and childrens entertainment. We hope to again run a tombola on the day, with various prizes donated by local companies and friends. As usual, all proceeds from this will go to St Giles Hospice.
We thank the following companies and organisations for their support for the 2022 event, with prizes, goody-bag gifts, donations and various other services. Thanks to their generosity, and to the runners who entered the events, over £6.4k was raised.

The event has been run for over 25 years raising over £110,000 for St Giles Hospice and we would like to take this opportunity to thank the Peel Road Runners and all past, present and future Gate Gallop entrants for their continued support!
