Bridge the Gap to Health

Registration for the 23rd annual Quincy Medical Group (QMG) Bridge the Gap Race is now open, and we're excited to announce the bridges are back! The 5K, 10K and Half Marathon routes are returning to cross over the bridge into Missouri before crossing back into Illinois for the finish. This year's event will take place on Saturday, May 13.

In addition to the 5K, 10K, and half marathon, the Paul Arndt Kids Fun is back again. If you can't join us in person on May 13, you can participate virtually and get the race swag while completing your chosen distance anytime during race weekend.

For over two decades, the QMG Bridge the Gap to Health Race has brought people near and far together to share in the experience of running or walking to help bridge the gap in community needs. As needs change, we took this as an opportunity to take a closer look at the remaining gaps in our community. That led us to the YWCA Supportive Housing Program. The YWCA supports some of the most vulnerable individuals and families in our community and moves them from homelessness to safe, affordable housing.

We invite you to join us in-person or virtually for the 23rd annual Bridge the Gap to Health Race as we gather in support of the YWCA and those in our community who need us most. In addition to supporting the needs of the YWCA, race organizers are asking participants to bring a canned food item at packet pickup to be donated to local food pantries to help us reach even more families in our area.
