2011 Course Maps Coming Soon!
The 2011 course will be quite similar to 2010 course with some minor changes. We’re also taking runner feedback into consideration to make your 2011 start and finish line experience the very best it can be!

MARATHON COURSE HIGHLIGHTS
Runners will race on the North Shore of Pittsburgh, cross each of the three rivers in Pittsburgh and travel through the South Side, Oakland, Shadyside and Bloomfield neighborhoods – just to name a few.                                                    
The course runs along the rivers of the City and challenges you on hill that takes you into the University area of Pittsburgh. The last five miles are downhill as you approach the finish line.

HALF MARATHON COURSE 

HIGHLIGHTS                                                                                                       
Runners will race on the North Shore of Pittsburgh, across each of the three rivers in Pittsburgh and travel through the South Side before travelling back through the streets of downtown Pittsburgh to the finish line.

Spectators are welcome to line the streets and cheer on the runners – and as years past have proven – Pittsburghers love to cheer on their champions.
