The White Horse Gallop is put on by the local volunteer fire company in Gap. There is a working-firehouse feel to it, the kind of morning where the people who organized the race are also the ones handing out refreshments at the finish. Restrooms and parking are on site.

The White Horse Gallop has been held every year since at least 2026. 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 Nov 12, 2026.
Set a goal and get a pace band: every mile split on a card sized for your phone lock screen, so race morning needs no math.

Almost certainly not. Half the 5K field finished slower than 27:43, and the last recorded finisher came in around 50:14, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.
A field of 314 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 5K, that spread matters more than the winner's time.
The 5K winner ran 18:07 while the median finisher took 27:43. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
