Join us for the QMG Foundation’s Bridge the Gap to Health Race on Saturday, May 10 as we celebrate a momentous 25 years of bridging gaps in the community! To mark this milestone, this year’s race will raise funds for a new industrial-grade truck for Horizons Social Services, a local soup kitchen and food pantry. Additionally, a portion of the funds raised will support the QMG Foundation’s ongoing initiatives to provide financial assistance to nonprofit organizations that directly impact our community, focusing on community development, health and youth initiatives.
Participate in the 5K Walk/Run, 10K, Half Marathon, or Paul Arndt Kids Fun Run. Head across the Bayview Bridge into Missouri, then circle back across Memorial Bridge into Illinois, hitting two states in one race! To commemorate this historic year, we are also running through Maine Street once again and around Washington Park, taking in the beauty of Downtown Quincy!
