This was my 3rd year running this race and will be my 4th in 2019.
It is a really well done family style race. Packet pick up day of is in heinz field, parking is right there. Finish is also on the field at the 50 yard line which is always fun. They have a kids race following so you can hang out in the stands and watch or talk with friends and family. They also have the concession stands open with fruits, drinks, pop and pastries.
There is a nice awards presentation after too and it is always held during rib fest weekend so you can walk outside and get some amazing BBQ after!
2018 was the first year that they gave medals to runners. I have always been one to love medals at races so this was a huge bonus for me. Nothing big and fancy but they are nice. The shirts are nice quality cotton shirts as well. and you get a nice little goody bag with it.
The course is along North Shore area so there are some hills but nothing major. This year was no where close to being my best time and the heat played a major part in that, but for something looking for a good race to PR at, if you start up front away from the families and strollers this would be a good one to try at.
