Trooper Kevin Conner Memorial Run

The Trooper Kevin Conner Memorial Run is an annual event held in Whiteville, North Carolina, honoring the memory of Trooper Kevin Conner. The race features a certified 5K and a 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk, both available as in-person and virtual options. The course starts and finishes in front of First Citizens Bank, taking participants through downtown Whiteville.

It is stroller and wheelchair friendly, though dogs are not permitted. Nearly a thousand community members participate each year in a supportive atmosphere. All finishers receive medals, and awards are given for top finishers and teams.

Proceeds support a scholarship fund for local students in Columbus and Bladen counties. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
