Tri-County Trifecta

Developed by the Tri-County Kentucky United Way in 2015 to celebrate the three counties they serve, the Trifecta encompasses three races in the Fall. Each county independently conducts a signature 5K race in their community. Runners who participate in all three races receive extra prizes.

How the Trifecta Works

To be eligible for the Trifecta, individuals must be registered and participate in all three 5Ks. Trifecta participants are recognized, and winners from each category are awarded, based on their performance in the three races overall. All Trifecta participants will receive a Tri-County Trifecta dry fit t-shirt. All proceeds from the Trifecta benefit the Tri-County Kentucky United Way’s efforts to improve quality of life for all.
