Event summary

Join us in honoring the legacy of Trooper Kevin Conner at the annual Trooper Kevin Conner Memorial Run, taking place on the weekend of October 12-13, 2024, in Whiteville, Columbus. This heartfelt event commemorates Trooper Conner, who tragically lost his life during a traffic stop in 2018. Each year, nearly a thousand participants come together to celebrate his commitment to community safety through a spirited 5K and a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk.

Whether you choose to run or walk, you can participate in the timed 5K or the untimed 1 Mile event, with virtual options available for those who prefer to join from afar.

Not only will you enjoy a day of fitness and community spirit, but your participation also contributes to a scholarship fund established in Trooper Conner's memory, supporting students in Columbus and Bladen County. Make a difference while celebrating a true hero!
