Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum

Celebrating Dennis' passion for running and to raise money for the Dennis Risch Memorial Fund.

Runners and Walkers are welcome

Benefit:

Dennis S. Risch Memorial Fund. The fund this year will be supporting the Immigrant and Refugee Law Center.

Dennis cared about providing opportunities for young people to flourish and break cycles of poverty. He had a heart for at-risk youth and life-giving opportunities like sports, travel, and outdoor adventures. As a father and coach to three daughters, he rooted for girls. He loved music and sponsoring music opportunities for others. Deeply rooted in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, he cared about the urban core and preserving history of these places. He sought to spread examples of God’s love and goodness through his life and his gifts.

  • Roebling Runners Group 8.9 km
    [runningcrews.com] [runningcrews.com] - Facebook - Instagram

    Founded in 2018 by Andrew, the Roebling Runners are a close-knit running crew of about 20 members based in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Named after the iconic Roebling Bridge, their runs celebrate the city’s unique blend of urban energy and natural beauty while fostering a welcoming community. The crew’s relaxed, inclusive vibe embraces runners of all abilities, focusing on connection and exploration rather than competition. Regular Tuesday morning runs start at a local coffee shop with easy routes to the bridge, while longer Saturday runs explore scenic riverbanks and neighborhood streets. By weaving social moments with running adventures, the Roebling Runners build lasting friendships and strengthen ties within Cincinnati’s vibrant running culture. Their small but dedicated group embodies the spirit of the city, making running an opportunity to discover shared history, support one another, and experience the rhythms of life along the Ohio River.
