Head for the Hills

Head For The Hills! is a scenic, family-friendly fall race held in Moreland Hills, Ohio, at Forest Ridge Preserve and the Lang Pavilion in the Chagrin River valley. The event features a 5K run on a recently resurfaced, out-and-back course along Chagrin River Road with gently rolling hills, plus a 1.5-mile hike through Forest Ridge Preserve with self-guided or naturalist-guided options. Proceeds support the Moreland Hills Parks Commission, helping fund park improvements and preservation.

Participants receive a commemorative tote bag, and top finishers in the 5K compete for prizes and age-group awards. The day also offers free kids activities, snacks, massages, and sponsor perks. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
