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

Runners and walkers of all ages gather to provide inspiration, draw strength from others and enjoy the camaraderie while supporting Trinity Services, a 66-year-old non-sectarian, non-profit organization that serves 3,500 children and adults with disabilities in 30 Illinois communities in Will, Cook, DuPage, Grundy, Peoria, Jackson, and St. Clair counties, and Reno, Nevada.

For those who prefer a shorter route, a 1K walk is available. The 5K course is certified by USA Track and Field and the race will be chip-timed for accurate results. Awards will be given to fastest male and female as well as top performers in various age ranges.

Celebrate your story, be an inspiration, or participate in memory of someone. Share your reason for running or walking on race day on the Wall of Triumph and online on Facebook at http://wwww.facebook.com/TrinityTriumph5K

The first 200 pre-registered participants will receive a tech Tshirt.

GET YOUR REGISTRATION REFUNDED!
Participants also may opt to create their own fundraising page online when you register or download a pledge form at www.trinitytriumph.com. Collect $150 or more in donations for Trinity Services, and we will send you a refund check after race day. Ask friends, family and coworkers to support Trinity’s mission to help people with disabilities live full and abundant lives.

An Opiate recovery Group meets at Peace  Lutheran Church each Tuesday night from 7:00 ? 8:30 p.m. Are you or a loved one struggling with heroin or opiate dependence? This support group meeting is for those struggling, those who love someone struggling, or those who just want to learn about the epidemic of heroin and prescription pain medications in our community.
