Any elevation gain at all near Columbus, OH?

Considering a move to Columbus, OH to work at OSU. Is there any elevation gain to be had within 15-20 minutes of the city? If so, where is it and how much gain is there? Maybe somewhere with a "hilly" trail run?? I am aware of Hocking hills, but that is too far for an after work outing.

Moved to Columbus in 2013. Highbanks Metro park has some gain there maybe 200' or so. It overlooks the Scioto River. Another one, Chestnut Ridge is SE of Cbus .
Did you end up staying in ABQ?

I've done some hiking in clear creek metro park, which has some "decent" hills, as far as Ohio goes.

I work at a military base and do wind sprints on an old launch ramp. Works quite well actually :)
