About
Bridge the Gap to Health takes place in Quincy, Illinois, in early May, hosted by the Quincy Medical Group Foundation to benefit local families. A half marathon (13.1 miles), a 10K and a 5K all start at 8:00 a.m., and walkers are welcome alongside runners, with a fun run for kids as well.
The route earns its name by crossing the Bayview Bridge into Missouri and returning to Illinois over the Memorial Bridge, giving a look at the downtown Quincy riverfront. Bridges tend to be exposed to wind, so be ready for gusts on the crossings, and keep your pace even on the rises.
