Bridge the Gap to Health
The Quincy Medical Group Foundation is organizing the 26th annual Bridge the Gap to Health race in Quincy, Illinois. This community event supports the renovation of local visitation spaces for children in foster care and provides assistance to various nonprofit community development and health initiatives.
The event features several flat and paved course options that take participants across state lines and through historic areas:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K Walk/Run
- Virtual Race
- Paul Arndt Kids Fun Run
The race routes include crossing the Bayview Bridge into Missouri before returning over the Memorial Bridge into Illinois. Participants also pass through Maine Street and circle Washington Park in Downtown Quincy. The Paul Arndt Kids Fun Run includes an adaptive division for participants with intellectual or physical disabilities, alongside age-specific distances ranging from 50 to 300 meters.
All 10K and Half Marathon finishers receive a medal. 5K participants have the option to purchase a medal during registration. Rewards are also presented to the top three male and female overall finishers in the 5K, 10K, and Half Marathon, with masters categories available for the longer distances. Event shirts are provided for registered participants, with specific designs for different race lengths.
Packet pickup is available at the Quincy Medical Building on the Friday before the race or at Clat Adams Park on the morning of the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
