Pittsburgh marathon

The Pittsburgh marathon takes place on the frist weekend in May once again this year, a popular race with professional athletes and weekend warriors alike. The Pittsburgh marathon is a popular Boston qualifying event.

In common with many marathons these days the Pittsburgh event has a corporate sponsor - the well known sports good chain Dicks Sporting Goods have been doing the honours since 2009, providing welcome additional funding that has helped the event continue to grow and develop.

The marathon itself is the signature event over a weekend of race based activities that now includes a half marathon, marathon relay, 5k race, kids' marathon and even a pet walk, which means the whole family really can take part! All in all, definitely a worthwhile addition to our marathon calendar, and another event to add to the bucket list for if we ever find ourselves over in Pennslyvania in the springtime.

Event dates

The Pittsburgh marathon in 2023 will take place on Sunday 7th May.

The same day also sees the half marathon and marathon relay events taking place.

The 5k race takes place the day before, Saturday 6th May, as do the Kids Marathon, Toddler Trot and Pet Walk.

Start time

The official start time for the main marathon is 7.00am.

The half marathon and marathon relays also get underway at the same time.

For the Saturday events, the 5k starts at 8am, the Toddler Trot at 8.30am, Kids Marathon at 9.30am and pet Walk at 12 noon.

Marathon course

The main marathon start line is on Liberty Avenue at 7th Avenue, with the finish at the Boulevard of the Allies, between Stanwix Street and Commonwealth Place. Other main streets on the route include Penn Avenue, West Carson Street, Fifth Avenue and North Highland Avenue.

A popular highlight of the course is the fact that you get to cross 3 Pittsburgh's 3 different rivers across 5 different bridges throughout the duration of the race.

There is an excellent detailed map of the full marathon course on the official site:

TV & Live Streaming

There has been a wide range of live coverage of the Pittsburgh marathon available from various sources in previous years - we'll be keeping our eyes open as always and post links here as they become available.

There does appear to be a good range of coverage on the local CBS Pittsburgh site, so we would expect at least some updates on the live news channel, and the live radio stream should also have people at the event:
