Grow Jackson is excited for the 2026 Groundhog Gallop to benefit our Summer 2026 Initiatives. Grow Jackson is a nonprofit 501(c)3 entity that exists to end food insecurity in Jackson. By operating community gardens and rescuing good food from being thrown away we are making healthy food options available to our neighbors, educating the next generation on the value of a healthy diet for personal health, and are playing a part in the wellness of our whole community. This year we are fundraising for a farm vehicle and farming equipment for the expansion of our food growing operations. All proceeds will go to supporting these efforts so that we can continue to grow local organic food in urban farms for our neighbors! We cannot wait to see you on race day and thank you for supporting our great cause! Run for FREE with a donation, details below.
