1 Miles Run Walk

FoxWall EMS is hosting the Run For The Hill Of It. This 1-mile competitive race and family fun walk consists of running up one of the steepest hills in Pittsburgh…this hill being Center Avenue in the heart of Aspinwall. Runners will start at the Aspinwall Borough Building (200 Block of Commercial Ave.) and run to the top of Center Ave and circle back and end at Fireman’s Memorial Park. The race starts promptly at 9am. After the race there will be a family friendly atmosphere with excitement for all ages. Included in the ticket price will be a race shirt, complimentary food trucks, a balloon artist, face painter, dj, blow up obstacle course and slide, mini amusement rides, and more.

We look forward to “Conquering Center” and supporting our local first responders in the process.

If registering a family (over 3 individuals living under the same roof) please select each individual participants preference (Timed Run/Walk) and a drop-down family pricing option will be available to click prior to checkout. Children under the age of 2 do not need to register.

T-shirt/bib/chip pick up will occur on Friday, April 24th from 3:30pm to 6pm at the Aspinwall Volunteer Fire Department (200 block of 1st). If other arrangements will need made, please let us know during registration or by sending an email. T-shirts cannot be guaranteed if signing up after April 12th.

Please note if signing up to walk you will still be required to walk the portion of the hill prior to turning on to 9th Street and proceeding to the park. This route is approximately 2/3rds a mile

    Join us for the 14th (and Final) Annual Run for the Titan Trail 5k/1 Mile Walk/Tot Run!

    The chip timed 5K run and 1 mile walk courses will begin at Shaler Area Elementary School and circle through local neighborhood streets, ending back at the school. The Run for the Titan Trail 5k is a fundraiser to help fund the cost of a year-end reading incentive trip to Millvale Riverfront Park and Three Rivers Heritage Trail for Shaler Area Elementary School students. Free voluntary reading in our school has increased exponentially since the creation of Blazing a Titan Trail: A Reading Adventure. Students strive to read 18 books throughout the school year to attend the trip.

    Blazing a Titan Trail: A Reading Adventure is a school-wide reading incentive program at Shaler Area Elementary School, an upper elementary school with 1,000 students in grades 4, 5, and 6. The program has been developed by a volunteer committee of teachers, librarians, parents, and administrators.

    Check-in/Registration will begin at 7:45. The 50-yard tot run will begin at 8:50 am. The 5K race will start at 9:00 am and the 1 mile walk will begin directly after. Please register by April 5 to receive a t-shirt (limited numbers and sizes of t-shirts will be available after this date).

    Note - $5.00 off registration discount for students will be applied once age group is chosen.
