#BadenRoadRaces
Kilometre for kilometre, this is the toughest road race we know of. The Baden Hill 7 Miler ascends the aerial Baden Tower Hill. Runners will climb the steep gravel slope and turn around at the top - don't miss ringing the brass bell! Also at this event are the Neil Dunford memorial 5 KM, as well as a 200m event for children.
For the past 38 years, Wilmot Township has been home to a great running tradition. With various venues, courses, distances, charities, and even names over the years, one thing has remained - the passion and community support for a great running event. We're thrilled to continue the tradition in 2017 with the 4th annual Baden Road Races!
