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 before continuing 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.
