Fifth Half Marathon - Bridge the Gap to Health Race (Quincy, Illinois)

In May of 2021, I signed up for the Bridge the Gap to Health Race in Illinois because I took pride in its purpose. Registrant proceeds were given to emergency shelters for homeless individuals in the area to live in safe, affordable housing. 

I knew this race was going to be challenging due to the amount of hills. However, my goal was to improve and perform better than my last one. I completed this race in one hour and 58 minutes which was my new, personal record. The finish line was located in downtown Quincy near the bridge and river, which was a beautiful remembrance of the program's mission.
