This is a Chip Timed event!
Thrive 5K is a community-action event in honor of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, supporting all survivors and taking a stand against violence in the Northern Kentucky and greater Cincinnati area. This will take place on October 3, 2026, this event is designed to bring people together in the spirit of promoting healthy relationships and ending domestic abuse.
Participants can expect a fun-filled morning of walking, running, and cheering on others as they complete the 5K course (Race course updated in 2026) in the beautiful Devou Park. With each step, runners and walkers will be making a statement in support of those affected by domestic violence, showing that the community stands with them and is committed to creating a safer, healthier for all. A Community fair will be at the start of the race where people can talk to members of the Thrive Community about the many classes offered at Thrive Empowerment Center along with connecting with local resources offered at ION Center and many more.
