Hospital Hill Run is one of the oldest road races in the country, entering its 39th year. We aim to make running accessible to everyone while assisting local charities in gaining exposure to their events and causes. We have worked with numerous groups encompassing health causes such as the Alzheimer's Association, Quest to Walk, and the Truman Medical Center; social causes such as Bridging the Gap and REGAP; and childrens' causes such as Infant/Toddler Services and the Ronald McDonald House Charities. This years' charity partners can be found at www.hospitalhillrun.com/sponsors/charity.html.

Hospital Hill Run also is a strong supporter of earth conservation efforts. Each year the run has decreased its dependence on traditional energy sources. Some examples are switching to a web hosting partner which is an EPA Green Power Partner, eliminating samples and paper items given to participants, printing the application on recycled paper as well as decreasing the size of the application. More on these efforts can be found at www.hospitalhillrun.com/gogreen/gogreen.html.
