About this race
The Conor Irwin Memorial Classic Race honors Conor Irwin, an intelligent, funny, kind, and amazingly fast young man who passed away tragically on December 5, 2016 at the age of 14, well before his time, in a skateboarding accident. All proceeds from the race go directly to the Conor Irwin Memorial Fund which provides scholarships to deserving students.
The 2024 Conor Irwin Memorial Classic will again offer both a live and a virtual option. The live event is at the Ledyard High School on June 8, 2024 at 9 AM. The race takes place on the Conor S. Irwin Memorial Cross Country Course. Awards will be given to the Top 3 Men and Women and to the Top 3 Finishers in their age groups for both Men and Women. For the virtual event, participants can complete the 5K in any way they would like - running, walking, hiking, biking, swimming, rowing, kayaking, paddleboarding, rollerblading, canoeing, ice skating, even a treadmill or a stationary bike. Conor would love the creativity! The virtual event will be open from registration until June 8, 2024 and can be completed anywhere, at any time, day or night.
T-shirts will be provided to all participants (either live or virtual) who would like to receive one. If you desire a T-shirt, you must register by May 18, 2024. If you do not want a T-Shirt, please select "No Shirt" under the size drop down. We love to see people wearing their "Conor Shirts."
In addition, the website allows you to donate any desired amount to the Fund if you prefer not to participate.
