The Trinity Triumph 5K celebrates the triumphs and achievements – big or small – of those who participate and of the adults and children with disabilities and mental illness who are supported by Trinity Services. 

Runners and walkers of all ages gathered at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 21, in the New Lenox Village Commons to draw strength from each other and enjoy camaraderie. 

This year, "Embrace the pace of your own journey," was the race's focus, encouraging people of all abilities to celebrate their triumphs.

The 5K course is certified by USA Track and Field, and the race was chip-timed for accurate results. Times can be viewed here. Awards were given to the fastest male and female as well as top performers in various age ranges. 

For every $30 registration fee or individual donation, supporters received a chance to win an Amazon Echo Show. New this year, registrants received a tech T-shirt and a drawstring "swag bag" with every paid registration. 

Thank you to everyone who supported Trinity Services through participation in the event. A special thank you goes out to volunteers, including those from the New Lenox Community Emergency Response Team and New Lenox Emergency Services, and to this year's sponsors, listed below.
