14th Annual Run for the Titan Trail 5K Run/1 Mile Walk/Tot Run

...our community lost ours.

In 2009, our connection to our park was exploded. And we've felt (and seen) this yawning chasm in our hearts ever since.

But after 16 years of hard work begging, complaining, and cajoling, in 2025 our li'l bridgey was reborn!

Come join us on a run (or walk) into Riverview Park via what many are calling the "Wonder of Brighton Heights" and "neat": the new Davis Avenue Bridge (LI'L BRIDGEY)! The event is May 30th, 2026 and begins at the Davis side of li'l bridgey, heads into Riverview park, around the Allegheny observatory and back down to finish where it started.

The South Ridge Trail Challenge is the region's premier early summer trail race and the only ultramarathon in North Park. Located on the South Ridge of North Park in Allegheny County, it offers a spectacular array of trails for runners and hikers of all abilities:

• a 5K for everyone, hikers welcome!

• a steady 10K for those looking for a little more climb, hikers also welcome!

• challenge yourself with two loops of the 10K course and (just about) complete 20K (just about a 1/2 marathon)

• a day-long party 50K relay- 5 10K loops let you share your vert with friends (relay teams are 2-5 people)

• a truly intrepid 50K - 5 10K loops covering almost 5000ft of vert. gain that will lead you on a journey from confidence to self-doubt and back again, earning you bragging rights as a finisher of the only 50K race in North Park.

All distances start and finish near the historic North Park swimming pool. Runners and walkers will then make their way up, down, and around the South Ridge Plateau, exploring all the beauty of early summer in Western PA.

START TIMES:

• 50K and 50K Relay - 7:30 am

• 5K - 9:00 am

• 20K - 10:30 am

• 10K - 11:00 am

COURSE CUT-OFF:

50K athletes MUST leave the aid station for their final loop by 3:30pm. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Come hang with Fleet Feet Pittsburgh on Global Running Day, run or walk a fun 3.1 miles and stay for an epic post-race party.

To focus on celebrating all the things that we love about running and walking -- high-fives, endorphins and good vibes with good friends -- this event will be untimed.

Come for the fun of getting out and moving, stay for the food trucks and games!

We hope to see you on June 4th!
