From the Organizer
Kick off the summer by running through Pittsburgh's scenic North Park, and a fun post race party.
Be The Change 4.12 Miler is brought to you by Operation Impact.
Post Race Celebration:
Why 4.12 Miles instead of a traditional 5K?
Because at Operation Impact we go the extra mile ;),
Plus it's Pittsburgh's Iconic area code.
Options are our 4.12 Mile Race, the untimed family 1 mile in North Park, or join us from your home city with our Virtual Option.
All proceeds go towards supporting educational programming at our main partnership, Urban Impact Foundation as they continue to empower and support youth in the North Side of Pittsburgh.
