About the Jim Beavers Memorial Graveyard Gallop
The course runs out and back past a local cemetery, which fits the Halloween theme well. Runners and walkers are encouraged to show up in costume, and plenty do. The race benefits the Homesteader Museum, with proceeds going toward children's scholarships and educational programming tied to the museum.

The Jim Beavers Memorial Graveyard Gallop has been held every year since at least 2023. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
How we calculate these stats: RunSesh calculates these figures from the most recent published results of past editions, sourced from RunSignup. We show aggregates only: field size, winning and median times, and the cutoff. We never publish individual finisher tables. Last updated Jul 27, 2026.
