The event was a huge success with over 900 runners participating. It was the largest organized race ever in Columbus County. This year, on October 11, 2025, the community will come together for the 7 th annual Trooper Kevin Conner 5K and 1 mile run in memory of his life and his dedication to protecting our community. All proceeds from this event will go into a scholarship fund in memory of Kevin Conner.
