The Straight Street Hill Climb™, the most grueling sub-mile race on the planet, is scheduled for Sunday Nov. 18. Begun some 36 years ago by the Clifton Track Club, the oxygen-depleting sprints up the city’s steepest inclines is back and so is the bike challenge.

The races are a fundraising event for the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby, which usually directs its efforts at going fast downhill.

“It’s two minutes of self-inflicted torture!” said Doug Newberry, president of the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby, referring to the average winning time for the running event.

The Soap Box Derby will award the prestigious King of the Hill trophy to the fastest runner and cyclist for the day.

Registration fee for the event is $10, or $20 with a race T-shirt. The single entry fee allows you to run or pedal up the hill — or both — if you want to do “The Double”

For five years, thousands of cycling participants of all abilities and ages enjoy bike riding in the annual non-competitive, family-oriented Ride Cincinnati event, while at the same time, raising important funds for Breast Cancer Research.

The Ride Cincinnati’s scenic course begins in the southern corner of downtown Cincinnati at Yeatman’s Cove in Sawyer Point and continues over the pedestrian-only Purple People Bridge, then meanders through several cities in Northern Kentucky. The course returns cyclists back to the Ride Cincinnati Celebration Party at Sawyer Point.

Destination markers along the course guide participants to choose the length of their own personal ride.

The 2012 Ride Cincinnati event will take place on Sunday, June 10th with the first cyclists leaving from the Yeatman’s Cove starting line at 6:30 a.m.

Ride Cincinnati is the first cycling event to raise funds for Breast Cancer Research in the Greater Cincinnati area.

Ride Cincinnati was founded in 2007 by Dr. Harvey Harris, his family and two friends, whose families have been touched by breast cancer. This event is dedicated to the life of Marlene Harris and all others who have, and continue to be, affected by this terrible disease.

Online registration will remain open until Friday, June 8th at 8:00pm.

Help us raise awareness about kidney disease and help support those whose lives have been affected by kidney disease. Approximately 1 in 6 Americans have kidney disease, but most people do not even know it! It could be you, a family member, or one of your friends…wouldn’t it be best to know if there is a problem before it is too late? There are often there are no symptoms of kidney disease until the late stages.
It doesn’t have to be this way. Kidney disease can be detected with simple blood and urine tests. If caught early, its progression to kidney failure may be delayed or prevented. The Kidney Trust will provide everyone who pre-registers through the event web site a kidney screening at NO CHARGE!
