Celebrate Cinco de Mayo a little differently this year. The Pittsburgh Marathon is on May 5 this year. Although the main marathon, half marathon, and relay events are sold out, you can still register for the 5K, children’s marathon, and pet walk.
Also, race directors are joining forces to create a blue Boston Strong wristband for anyone who donates to the "Boston One Fund." You can choose between two wristbands: "#Run for Boston" or "Boston Strong." Runners can display their solidarity all the way to the finish line in support and honor of Boston.
If you’re interested in registering or attending the event, check out the information below. Also, you can find the course map here. And of course, if you want to be involved but can’t run, why not volunteer your time? The race is still looking for volunteers, and there are perks to the position!
Participants will receive a shirt and a medal.
