What a phenomenal day celebrating Connor’s Way 2024 – beautiful weather, 535 registrants (four short of our record) from literally all over the world, remembering Connor and raising funds for his memorial scholarships that assist Central New York youth in their higher education endeavors and helping families in need.  Thank you to all who sponsored, volunteered (too many to list!) and the runners/walkers who participated.  Congratulations to our first-place male finisher, Cooper Parker (33:22) and first-place female finisher Sarah Washburn (40:15) on their great runs!

Please take a moment to view the photos submitted by participants and also the gallery of photos submitted by our sponsor photographer (& Connor’s friend) Maxwell Young LeBuis of YSM Media at https://connorsway.smugmug.com. If you have more photos to upload use the link below.
