Close to 100 participants in the third annual Indian River Gator Gallop got off the main drag Saturday morning, running through the Indian River Lagoon Greenway in the only 5K Trail Run in Vero Beach.
The 187-acre property, located at the corner of 8th Street and Indian River Boulevard, is a public/private cooperative of the Indian River Land Trust, IRC Commissioners, the Mosquito Control District and the Florida Inland Navigation District.
The three-mile trail system is open year-round to hikers, joggers, bike riders and even leashed pets. Overall race winner was Nathaniel Helfferich at 20:33; Kerry Monahan Gaughan was the top female finisher at 23:23.
