The Hill Topper 5k

03/25/2025

To all our SPONSORS, PARTICIPANTS, VOLUNTEERS, and DONORS – thank you for making the 2025 Hill Topper 5k our best year yet!

Together, we raised nearly $12,000 to benefit our local community! All profits from the Hill Topper 5k stay within the Church Hill and greater Richmond area, directly benefitting organizations such as:

Robinson Community Theater

This year we had a record 347 runners/joggers/walkers CONQUER THE HILL! Whether you came out just for fun, or for a competitive timed run, we hope you enjoyed the race (and the Irish Festival afterwards). Please come back next year!

Huge shoutout to our amazing SPONSORS this year! Thank you for supporting us!
