The Hike for Hospice of Cincinnati and Hike for Hospice of Hamilton are a special set of events giving participants the opportunity to race or hike in memory or in honor of a loved one while helping Hospice of Hamilton and Hospice of Cincinnati continue its high quality of care for terminally ill patients and their families.
Every fall for more than 30 years, rain or shine, Greater Cincinnatians donning rain slickers or sunglasses have traversed a 2.5-mile route through Blue Ash to raise funds and awareness for Hospice of Cincinnati.
The 5K Run is a USATF sanctioned scenic, flat, out and back course that starts and finishes at Hospice of Cincinnati. 5K Race categories include Male & Female 14 & under, 15-18, 19-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-69, 70 & over. Results will be posted at www.hospiceofcincinnati.org/hike.
Proceeds from the event help fund programs and services at Hospice of Cincinnati. In July 1998, Hospice of Hamilton began a similar hike to support its hospice programs. Consider forming a Hike team with family and friends, at work or church, or with your favorite organization.
