December 4, 2011  -  Still Going Strong after 34 years!

The Seven Hills Run/Walk is a 12.4 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 finishing in scenic 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 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.
