  • Comments: I really like this race. It's well organized, has good swag, and is pretty much as easy as you could hope for Pittsburgh (the worst hills are the bridges). This is my second time completing the half and I hope it won't be my last.

  • Comments: The finish line area is horrible. It is clearly not enough space for so many people. It is the only bad part of the race.

  • Comments: The finish line area was a zoo. It was in a new location this year. I stood around trying to get out of the finish area for a while, but could not move because there were so many racers, and spectators were clogging the exit area.

  • Comments: Really well organized race. The expo was top notch. Signage was clear. Things happened on time. Technology was great: i.e. real time Facebook and text updates of race splits. Plenty of food and drinks afterward. Lots of volunteers. The main neighborhoods (South Side, North Side, West End) had great turnouts. Bands were great and motivating.

  • Comments: Very good race with a marathon, half marathon, and marathon relay going on. Somewhere around 10,000 starters, and they started on one of the wider streets around, so the start wasn't bad at all. Couple of drum sections from marching bands, which was awesome! Lots of volunteers at all the water stops, so that was obviously great as well.
