Scheduled for May 3, 2026, the DICK’S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon offers an inclusive and diverse slate of races—from a USATF city marathon and half marathon (also available in "Back Half" format), to a marathon relay, 5K, Champions Mile, fitness challenge, and fun runs spanning the weekend. The course route brings runners through iconic Pittsburgh landmarks—crossing each of the city's three main rivers, navigating stirring neighborhoods like South Side, Oakland, and Shadyside, and finishing downtown near Point State Park. Marathon and half marathon runners enjoy chip-timed courses, Boston-qualifying certification, robust aid stations, entertainment, and scenic architecture and river views. The full festival weekend includes an expo, the Run for a Reason charity program supported by KeyBank, and a variety of family-oriented events like the kids' marathon, toddler trot, and pet walk.
