I love the course and distance for this race. It's longer than a 5k but without the commitment of a 10k. The course is great, downtown Pittsburgh, hills and bridges. There isn't much in terms of post race foods.. just the normal smiley cookies and bananas. But in past years the arena opened up for practice which was a good way to wind down after, and being a huge pens fan makes this even better. This year (2016) there was no practice, but the Stanley Cup was there!
High fives with Mario makes this worth it too! 👌
