About Us
The Hilly Half Marathon & 10K is not your average race – it’s a celebration of community, nature, and grit. Nestled in the heart of the stunning Madawaska Highlands, our course winds through the forests and hills surrounding Cedar Ridge Camp in McArthur’s Mills, Ontario.
What began in 2020 during the pandemic has since grown into an annual tradition for runners looking to escape the city, embrace the outdoors, and take on a race that’s as beautiful as it is bold. Built on the belief that running should be about more than just the finish line, the Hilly Half brings together friends, families, and runners who value connection, challenge, and community.
Each year, the Hilly Half raises funds in support of Amici Camping and Kids in Camp charities that provide summer camp experiences for children facing financial barriers. By joining our race, you’re not just running — you’re helping to create opportunities and unforgettable memories for kids across Ontario.
Whether you’re chasing a personal best or just soaking up the natural beauty with friends and family, we welcome you to a race weekend that’s all about connection, challenge, and community.
