An annual event returns to the grounds of Adena Mansion & Gardens. “Kill the Hill,” a race that features a killer hill… Adena’s entrance driveway.

The event involved two races to appeal to athletes on 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 7:00am and the races begin at 8:00am. Participants may register online at http://allsportsraces.redpodium.com/kill-the-hill-2017 or by filling out a registration form. Registration forms can be found online at www.adenamansion.com and completed forms can be dropped off at 847 Adena Road.

Pre-registration deadline is May 21st. Regular registration is available until the beginning of the race. Fees for the 5K are $20 during pre-registration, $25 after May 21st/$30 day of race. The 10-mile run is $25 for pre-registration, $30 after May 21st and $35 on day of race. All participants who register on or before June 5, 2017 will receive a t-shirt and commemorative leather medallion.
