Additional Information

The Seven Hills Run/Walk is a 13.7-mile annual event that challenges runners over the famously hilly terrain through the heart Cincinnati.

Runners tour the hills of Mt. Adams, Mt. Auburn, Clifton, Fairview, North and South Fairmount and Price Hill!
At various times, there are no sidewalks on the course, and the road precariously narrows in some places. Course volunteers are always on hand to ensure that everyone finishes safely, and course maps are available the day of the run.

The unique part of this event is that it is not a race. No times are to be taken, and no results are recorded or published. This is an event in which finishing the course safely is the primary goal and achievement of each runner. Runners often travel in pairs or groups, and everyone watches out for the safety, welfare and enjoyment of all of the other runners in the event. There is always much encouragement and friendship before, during and after the run.

This is a tough event, and finishing it is a great personal achievement for even the most seasoned of runners.

Applications and payment will be accepted at the CRC Athletic Office Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. until 4:45 p.m. Payment may be made with cash, check, money order or Visa or Mastercard. Individuals may also register on-line, by phone or by faxing an application along with a Visa or Mastercard number and expiration date. Applications should accompany all payments being mailed to CRC.

Rules of the Run

RULES OF THE RUN
The Seven Hills Run/Walk is a 13.7 mile annual event intended to challenge individual runners over hilly terrain through the City of Cincinnati. It is not a race - no times will be taken and no results will be recorded or published. It is the intention of the organizers and participants alike that this is an event in which finishing the course safely is the primary goal and achievement of each participant. Racing is expressly prohibited. Runners are encouraged to participate in pairs of groups, and to pay attention to the safety, welfare and enjoyment of all of the other participants in this event. Give each other encouragement and friendship before, during and after the run.

There are several tricky parts in the course where crossing streets and finding available pathways require attention and care. At many of these points, there will be course volunteers to direct you. Please cooperate with the course volunteers to ensure that everyone finishes safely. This is especially true towards the end of the run on Lehman Hill, starting from State Street and running towards Grand. There are no sidewalks on this part of the course, and the road narrows in some places. Please run to the left, opposing traffic, on Lehman Road, and keep your attention for oncoming and overtaking vehicles. Course maps will be available the day of the run.

This is a tough event. Finishing it will be great personal achievement for you. Please do it safely so that you can come back and enjoy it year after year!

Course monitors and water stop personnel are not in place until the event starts at 9:00 a.m. Please do not start before
