The Greater LA Triple Crown 5k Series 2026

The Greater LA Triple Crown 5K Series connects three distinct 5K races in the Lewiston/Auburn area of Maine. Festival Plaza on Main Street in Auburn is the event location. The races occur throughout the summer, begin in the morning, and welcome runners and walkers of all ages and abilities. Participants may enter a single race or register for the entire Triple Crown. Each 5K has a limit of 800 participants. The series is particularly accommodating to families and older participants, offering free registration for children 14 and under, and adults 75 and over. The three races are YMCA Fit Fest, Emily’s Run, and the L-A Bridge Run. All are on USATF-certified 5K courses with chip timing. The event offers practical amenities: refreshments, music, prize drawings, apparel for purchase, overall prizes, and awards in five-year age groups. Completing all three races earns a complimentary Triple Crown prize and entry into a grand prize raffle. The series supports the Auburn-Lewiston YMCA, the Fletcher Foundation, and the Bridge Run Foundation. Adaptive racers should contact organizers for registration information.
