Get ready to hit the ground running at the heart-pumping North Park Cross Country Race/Walk! Nestled in the scenic trails of North Park near the vibrant city of Pittsburgh, our event offers a blend of natural splendor and community spirit as it enters its 17th glorious year. Revel in the stunning fall foliage as you tackle parts of the famous Rachel Carson Trail, all while making a difference for an orphanage in the Philippines. After you've pushed your limits, celebrate with unique handmade bamboo medals, cash prizes, and an exquisite folk dancing performance! Note the race day’s energetic start with the 20k at 8:00 am, 10k at 9:30 am, and 5k at 10:15 am, all commencing from the historic North Harmar Pavilion. Just remember, park at the North Park Swimming Pool lot for a brisk pre-race warm-up walk to the start line. Let's race for a cause, create memories, and embrace the culture together!
