The DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon is a deceptively hilly city point-to-loop course crossing the city's yellow bridges and three rivers, with about +933 ft (284 m) of total climbing. It starts on Liberty Avenue downtown and is USATF-certified and a Boston qualifier.

Why attend here

Pittsburgh in early May is a sweet spot—mild, green, and buzzing with pre-summer energy. You'll run over the city's iconic yellow bridges, feel the climb into Oakland's university district, and afterward, treat yourself to a Primanti Brothers sandwich stacked with fries and coleslaw, a true local rite of passage.

Course

The course starts on Liberty Avenue downtown near the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and immediately puts runners on the city's iconic yellow steel bridges, crossing the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers. It rolls through the Strip District, North Side, and South Side, with a notable climb from Forbes Avenue into Oakland around mile 11.
