This was one of the first major races to come back in Pitt post COVID. Fun race that follows the half marathon course in reverse. Weather was cool and crowd a bit smaller than in previous years but still good. If in Pitt area in fall this is a great race to try.

Course is almost a complete reverse of the 1/2 marathon run in spring. The organizers try hard with different themes at each mile marker, but for me many were lost or I just didn’t notice them. Swag is OK, crowd support is thin compared to marathon, but still a fun race in the city. There are no real hills but plenty on inclines and bridge crossings.

Almost the reverse course of the 1st 10 miles of the marathon. Race corrals were very well organized. No expo just packet pick up at local running store. Race shirts were crap. Overall it was a very well organized race and a fast course. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a fall race.

I did the 10 miler and while the swag is nice for the race I do not know if I would do it again.
Being an admitted back of the pack runner I was surprised to see them tearing down tables before all athletes had come through. I know there were people behind me and they were already taking things down.
Pittsburgh has hills and it would be best to train with them if at all possible. The first hill coming out of station square is a rough way to start but again its Pittsburgh we have hills.
Just be aware if you are on the slower pace that you may need to carry your own water and don’t be dependent on the tables being open and staffed during the later portions of the race.
The zip up technical jacket is nice and so was the medal plus running across the bridges are awesome.
