The Three Steps to Victory is a greyhound racing competition held annually at Owlerton Stadium in Sheffield.
It was inaugurated in 2003 and is unique in the racing calendar because it consists of different race distances. In 2019, Gain Nutrition took over the sponsorship of the event. Gain Nutrition became Time Greyhound Nutrition in 2023.
