<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We plan to work with Greg McCormick of Running Time to come up with a better timing solution for next year. Our system worked good for 25-30 participants, OK with 60 but now that we've clearly broken the century mark, we need to upgrade.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />

Race Date: November 22, 2015 <br />
Check in at top of hill.<br />
<span class="fsl"><br /> The Straight Street Hill Climb is billed as ‘one of the most grueling sub-mile runs on the planet’ by event organizers. “It’s two minutes of self-inflicted torture,” claims event coordinator, Doug Newberry. This year’s hill climb will be the 39th anniversary of the event that started in 1976 by the Clifton Track Club. It has been run almost annually ever since. The bike race was added in 2011, along with the option to both run and bike up the hill in consecutive assaults.<br /><br /> The format will be similar to previous years. Running race will start at 9 a.m. with the Bike race afterwards. The 1.08-mile Biathlon returns this year and is open to anyone who entered either the run or the bike event. No extra fee for this masochistic attempt.<br /><br /> Running race will begin at 9 a.m.. Bike races will begin about 9:30 a.m.. Depending on the number of riders, cyclists may be started in multiple heats.<br /><br /> Proceeds benefit the Cincinnati Soap Box Derby</span><br />

<a href="https://squareup.com/market/csbd" target="_blank">Registration is open</a> for the 2014 Straight Street Hill Climb, scheduled for Sunday morning, Nov 23 at 9 a.m. Race Day registration opens at 8 a.m. that morning.<br />
<br />
The race almost didn't happen this year because of the Cincinnati Police Special Events Units' exorbitant fees but the <a href="http://buckeyerunningcompany.com/index.html" target="_blank">Buckeye Running Company</a> came through to help offset the costs. Thank you Steve and Brett! Of course, <a href="http://wiedemannbeer.com/" target="_blank">Wiedemann Beer</a> will return as our hydration sponsor. Thanks George!<br />

<br />
The format will be similar to previous years. Running race will start at 9 a.m. with the Bike race afterwards. The 1.08-mile Biathlon returns this year and is open to anyone who entered either the run or the bike event. No extra fee for this masochistic attempt.<br />
<br />
Biathlon format will flip from last year. Last year, competitors started by running up then down the hill and finished by pedaling up to the top. THIS year, we will start with the bikes, then run down and back up on foot -- or hands and knees, if required.<br />
<br />
Purchasing .036 stickers and pre-ordering shirts can also be done <a href="https://squareup.com/market/csbd" target="_blank">on the website</a> in addition to registration. We've already ordered the shirts so when we're out of your size, we're out. Sorry. Order NOW to guarantee yours will be waiting. I'm sending the sizes and quantities to the printer this afternoon.

On S<span class="text_exposed_show">unday, Nov 23, a small group of runners and cyclists will gather at the base of Straight Street in Clifton Heights for the Straight Street Hill Climb.

Sound easy?<br /><br /> The Straight Street Hill Climb is billed as ‘one of the most grueling sub-mile runs on the planet’ by event organizers. “It’s two minutes of self-inflicted torture,” claims event coordinator, Doug Newberry.

The bike race was added in 2011, along with the option to both run and bike up the hill in consecutive assaults.<br /><br /> Running race will begin at 9 a.m.. Bike races will begin about 9:30 a.m..

Torture, as you know, is the theme of this race and Mother Nature did her part. How cold? The liquid beverages awaiting the competitors at the top of the hill started to get slushy.<br />
<br />
The 2013 edition set a record for the number of pre-registrants (92) and actual particpants (119) for both the running and cycling events.<br />
<br />
Results are listed below. Running times are estimated because of the cold weather and sheer number of runners finishing almost at the same time. Some runners were not handed their tickets in the correct order and we could not track how many crossed the line at sub one-second intervals. It's one more thing we need to address next year as this event continues to grow. Apologies to all runners for this mess-up.<br />
<br />
A special shout-out to the competitors who participated in multiple, consecutive events today.<br />
Also to <b>Matt Gancedo and Mark Jepson </b>who did all three!<br />
