17th annual Cleft Palate Gallop 5K Run/Walk

Dental students at the Adams School of Dentistry at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will host the 17th Annual Cleft Palate Gallop on Sunday, September 27th, 2026. There will be both a 5K Run and 1.2 Mile Family Fun Walk. All proceeds go towards helping children at the Craniofacial Center who have skull abnormalities.

You can register for the 5K, Family Fun Walk, or make additional donations by going to https://runsignup.com/Race/NC/ChapelHill/CleftPalateGallop

Both the 5K and the Fun Walk cost $25; register early to ensure you get your guaranteed shirt size. In-person registration is available on race day beginning at 7:00 a.m., and will cost an additional five dollars.

Running in the race will impact your life for a day, but will change the life of a child forever!
