The 25th Annual Covington Y Cheerios® Challenge is a fundraiser for the Covington Y's Annual Campaign, which helps make Y programs accessible to all families and children in our community. Registration for the 1 mile, 5k, and 10k races includes a t-shirt. Participation medals will be given for the Trix Tot Trot. Age group and overall winner awards will be presented for the 1 mile, 5k, and 10k races.
After the race, join us for the post-race festival featuring live music, free food, local vendors, and activities for kids. You may even see the Trix Rabbit or Cheerios® Honey Bee!
Running in the Covington Y Cheerios® Challenge helps ensure that every child can participate in Y programs like youth sports, swim lessons, and summer day camp. Your race registration fee supports the YMCA's WHY IT MATTERS Annual Campaign. Financial assistance, funded through the Annual Campaign, is available based on need for all Y programs. The Y actively seeks to identify and involve those in need. The Cheerios® Challenge is the Covington Y's largest fundraiser for the WHY IT MATTERS Annual Campaign.
