About the race
Thrive 5K is a chip-timed community run and walk held at Devou Park (Volpenhein Shelter) in Covington, KY. The event is organized as a community-action activity in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month to support survivors and raise funds for local empowerment programs.
The course distance is 3.1 Miles; the course was updated in 2026. A community fair at the start provides information about classes offered by Thrive Empowerment Center and connections to local resources such as the ION Center for Violence Prevention and other area organizations.
There are two entry categories with separate fees: a general entry fee of $30.00 and a reduced fee of $5.00 for participants 11 and under, who must be accompanied by an adult. Registration fees and donations are nonrefundable. Remaining funds after event costs are directed to a Community Fund that supports no-cost empowerment programs for clients of local organizations.
Awards are given in runner divisions for first through third place in Male, Female, and Non-Binary categories, and for walkers in first place for Male, Female, and Non-Binary categories. T-shirt availability is guaranteed only for registrations received by September 11; after that date shirts are available while supplies last.
Strollers are welcome. Dogs are not permitted. The event proceeds rain or shine. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
