Runners, walkers and onlookers are invited to enjoy the evening together in celebration of their personal achievements, their friends and neighbors, and the people Trinity Services supports.

The spirit of inclusiveness and community that drives the Trinity Triumph encourages people of all abilities and ages to participate. Whether a runner, walker or wheelchair user takes 20 minutes or 1 hour, 20 minutes to complete the course, they are cheered on and celebrated equally. A 1K walk option is also available.

For each $30 registration fee paid or donation of $30, participants will receive an entry to win an Amazon Echo Show.
