Run Like Hell is a rain, sleet, snow, or shine event. We have a tent for the band and party!

What is Run Like Hell? It’s not your normal 5K. Sure, lots of people race full speed. But for the majority of “runners,” it’s more like a street party that moves in a common direction at varying rates of speed. When you Run Like Hell, you do it in costume, through a cemetery and you end up at a Halloween themed after-party complete with free food, drinks and a live music by Forehead. Best of all, everything from this Halloween event benefits the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

A 5K through the Walnut Hills Cemetery.

Party begins where the race ends and goes long into the night.

Forget running shorts. Costumes range from simple devil horns to sumo suits.

• Register as a team! This has always been a group race, now you can make it official.
• Cappel’s offers costume discounts for registered Run Like Hell participants.

All that running, drinking, eating and rocking paid off.

Run Like Hell was ranked the #1 fun run in Cincinnati for a reason. More people than ever turned out in costume and ready to rock. Over 2,000 runners stomped the streets as human foosball players, vampires and political figures—even a Viking ship sailed through the crowd. And as always, more fun leads to more cash. Last year, Run Like Hell raised $107,421 for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
