Galloway competed in the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Germany, in the 10K event and in 1973 set the U.S. 10-mile road race record. He began running 60 years ago and is the founder of the Run-Walk-Run training method that has helped open up running to millions of people.
He is author of “Galloway’s Book on Running” and was a monthly columnist for Runner’s World magazine for 21 years, according to his website. Galloway is also the official training consultant for runDisney and founder and owner of Phidippides – the world’s first specialty running store, founded in 1973.
“Not only will we have Jeff Galloway to speak at many of our events,” said Aguiar. “We’ll also have Run-Walk-Run certified pacers available on race day along with traditional pacers.”

The Sports & Fitness Expo is held at Wright State University’s Nutter Center and is scheduled for Sept. 13-14.
