  • I have run the Pittsburgh Marathon 5 times now with the most recent one being a couple of Sundays ago. While this may be some hometown bias on my part, every year I find the Pittsburgh Marathon to be one of the best and most entertaining marathons that I have run. This comes even after having run 35+ marathons now everywhere from NYC to Chicago to Las Vegas and Napa and in a number of different Rock N Roll marathons. There are always a number of bands on the course and they easily outnumber the number that are on the Rock N Roll courses which I find funny since those races bill themselves as having a ton of live entertainment. The crowds in Pittsburgh are also always great. From the volunteers at the water stations to the locals handing out water on their own there is almost always a smiling face encouraging you onward. The Pittsburgh course will never be a PR race course as it is hilly like the city itself. As a native Pittsburgher I find that they have actually done a good job in making the course as "flat" as it is as nothing in Pittsburgh is really flat. I also love how we cross each of the Three Rivers that Pittsburgh is known for and also visit a number of the different neighborhoods in the city. My only real issue with the marathon is the cluster that is the finishing area. Granted it is signifcantly better than somewhere like NYC, it is not as good as Chicago and I think they have an opportunity to make it better by actually extending the finishing chute into Point State Park. Then you wouldn't have to fight through the crowds to get to the Family Reunion area. The bottom line for me is that I will continue running the Pittsburgh Marathon in the foreseeable future. It's such a great race that not only supports US running with the Ameican Development Program but also positively sheds light on Pittsburgh itself.
