Conquer the Hill 10k Run/4.5 Mile Walk 2026

Conquer the Hill begins and ends at Evendale Recreation in Evendale, Ohio, with runners and walkers starting together at 8:00 AM. Participants can choose from three options: a USATF-certified 10K run, a 4.5-mile walk, and a 10K Steps Challenge. The walk is designed for all ages and families, not competitive walkers, and to keep the course clear, dogs, bikes, inline skates, skateboards, and hoverboards are not permitted. The event's name reflects its nature: it's a local hill-running tradition, not a fast-paced city race. This event has been held for over forty years and supports a teen organization, giving the morning a community fundraiser atmosphere. The run includes male and female divisions for overall winners and age groups from children to seniors, with medals for first place in each runner division, separate from overall awards. Those who register in advance receive a shirt, and race-day registration is typically open for latecomers.
