Hell On Hills

Hell On Hills Pittsburgh is home to the world’s steepest street at a 37% grade, Canton Ave. It’s also home to Hell on Hill- the Worlds Steepest 5k. Come run it on 10/27

Beechview is only minutes away from Downtown via the “T,” Pittsburgh’s trolley system. It is home to a diverse population in a neighborhood filled with hardworking people dedicated to helping others and improving the community they call home. In 1912, the community challenged the city to find a solution to the fact that the normal horse and wagon used by firemen did not work on our hills. This yea

r our community is challenging you to tackle those same hills, including the steepest street in the world. The staggering 37% grade of Canton is just the beginning as the course continues to climb four of the biggest hills Pittsburgh has to offer.

Hello, you beautiful creatures. As I'm sure you know, due to Covid, there will not be a Hell on Hills this year. We have had to miss a lot of amazing events this year, from the Marathon to the Great Race, to the many local runs that we love to support every year.

We are as sad as you are, as we had some pretty big plans for 2020! We miss yinz, we love yinz, and we hope you're staying safe and healthy! You got a lot to catch up come 2021!

xoxo

HELLO MY HILLCATS! As you've probably guessed by now, there will not be a HoH 2019. This is a ME thing! The City has been fabulous and I think they are secretly bummed I had to nix it this year. It's just a time/resource issue. I do a lot of HoH myself, and with my new venture (read Pittsburgh Current!), I just couldn't pull it together.

BUT! DO NOT FEAR! For 2020 shall bring you REVENGE OF THE HILLS (h/t to Deanna Fisher-Ulrich for the name!) 2020 shall ROCK YOUR WORLD. Planning is already underway, and I am going to make up to you not having a race this year.

I hope yinz understand. And this breaks my heart. It truly does. This is my baby, and I feel like a bad race mom. PLEASE hang in there and come back in 2020, and I'll wine video you real soon!

xoxo,
Race Director Bethany

This is Matt. Doesn't Matt look nice? Angelic, even? WELL HE IS NOT. Matt has won Hell on Hills in 2016, 2017, and he is coming for it again, people. He's hungry, he's ruthless, and he is, I will go ahead and say it, downright devilish. 2016 time? 20:04. 2017 time? 18:47. WHO WILL STOP MATT?

Will it be you?

(disclaimer: Matt is actually one of the nicest humans I have ever met. I felt like saying that the way I said it lent a certain amount of gravitas. But still. Can he be beat??)
