5Q Race Remembers Woodbridge Resident Quincy Conner

The second annual '5Q' run/walk is Nov. 2, and registration is open.

The 5Q is hosted by the Quincy Conner Foundation, named after Woodbridge resident Quincy Conner, who died suddenly of a heart attack at 28 in December of 2005. The Quincy Conner Foundation raises money for student scholarships. 

"All proceeds from the race will go to The Quincy Conner Foundation, to celebrate the life of our dear friend who touched so many and left this world too early," the race registration website reads. "The foundation raises money to provide students who are less fortunate with an opportunity to attend college and achieve their own goals."

Registration is $35 through Oct. 31 and $40 on race day. Pick up packets on Nov. 1 from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. at VA Runner at 14215 Smoketown Road in Woodbridge or on race day, Nov. 2, from 7 a.m. to 8 a.m. 

The race starts at 8 a.m. at Lake Ridge Middle School at 12350 Mohican Road in Lake Ridge. Snacks will be served post-race. 

The race will feature a live DJ, food, T-shirts for registered runners and trophies or awards for top finishers overall and in various age categories. 

TQCF is still looking for sponsors for this race.
