As you can see from all the runners around town, it is time to stretch those muscles. Two big running events are coming up in Quincy. Bridge The Gap and the Running Raider Classic.

Both of these events have been here for many years now. Bridge the Gap is coming up on 15 years and the Quincy Notre Dame event, The Running Raider Classic, will celebrate its 14th year. Both events are still going strong.

People in Quincy love to run and that is a good thing. These two events bring many visitors to town, which means people getting hotel rooms to stay the night or staying with family and friends which helps the local economy. Both the Running Raider Classic and Bridge the Gap give back to the community, as well. And as a bonus, runners get to see some of the best scenery in the area. Quincy is unique in that we have two bridges and a great view to run over. Enjoy it!

Bridge the Gap to Health is taking place Saturday, May 16. The Running Raider Classic will be on June 27.
