I ran this race for the first time in 2016 so I wasn't sure what to expect and was very impressed with everything about it. The pick up morning of was easy and was actually inside of Heinz field. The t shirt was great quality. They had a ton of food and drinks after and a very nice award ceremony. I am a big fan of race bling so the fact that it doesn't have a medal is the only negative for me for this race and the only reason I give the "swag" part a 4 star.
Finishing on the actual field was the best part. The course was about as flat as you can get for Pittsburgh. There was a really nice kids run on the field after the 5k was done.
This is also the week of ribfest which is right outside so if you hang out in the area after there will be lots of good BBQ!!
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice fall 5k.
