AN IMPORTANT RUN LIKE HELL UPDATE
Run Like Hell 5K has been rescheduled for Saturday, October 30, 2027.
A major stadium concert taking place the same weekend as our planned 2026 event has created competing demands for the street closures and logistics necessary for our course in and around The Banks and Cincinnati’s riverfront.
We explored our options, but ultimately, we don’t want to compromise the Run Like Hell experience. Our runners deserve the full course, atmosphere, costumes, music and Halloween chaos that make this event a Cincinnati tradition.
Already Registered?
No action is required. All 2026 registrations will automatically transfer to the October 30, 2027 event at no additional cost.
If you are unable to join us in 2027, you may choose to donate your 2026 entry fee to The Cure Starts Now or request a refund.
We’re disappointed we won’t be raising hell together this October, but we’re grateful for the continued support of our runners, sponsors, volunteers and community partners.
We’re already looking ahead and making sure that when the Gates reopen, Run Like Hell comes back the way it should.
We’ll see you at the Gates. 🔥
Even Hell Has a Heart
We’re running for more than the thrill — we’re running for The Cure Starts Now, a Cincinnati-based nonprofit leading the charge to cure pediatric brain cancer. Born from heartbreak and built on hope, they’re funding research that fights cancer at its core.
A portion of registration proceeds from Run Like Hell 5K will benefit The Cure Starts Now.
a hell of a good time
Costumes encouraged.
Souls optional.
Let’s Run Like Hell.
