An annual event returns to the grounds of Adena Mansion & Gardens on Sunday, June 12, 2016 with “Kill the Hill,” a race that features a killer hill…Adena’s entrance driveway.
The event involves two races to appeal to athletes at all levels: a 5K run/walk and a 10 mile run. All courses begin and end at Adena Mansion & Gardens’ Visitor’s Center. Runners first descend Adena’s landmark hill, then follow a course that winds through Yaples Orchard and Yoctangee Park before returning up the hill to finish.
Adena’s grounds open at 7:00 am and the races begin at 8:00 am. Participants may register online at https://AllSportsRaces.redpodium.com/kill-the-hill or by filling out a registration form. Registration forms can be found online at www.adenamansion.com/events.htm and completed forms can be dropped off in person or mailed to 847 Adena Road, Chillicothe, Oh 45601.
Registration is available until the beginning of the race. Fee for the 5k is $25 and $30 day of race. The 10-mile run is $30 and $35 day of race.
All participants who register on or before June 6, 2016 will receive a T-shirt and commemorative leather medallion.
All proceeds from the race will support the operation of Adena Mansion & Gardens. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 winners in the Men’s and Women’s Divisions of the 5K run/walk and 10-mile run.
