A Run Through the ‘Woods’ is fun neighborhood road race fundraiser for Hoover Elementary School Parent Teacher Association (PTA) in the Mt. Lebanon School District, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The run/walk takes place at the elementary school. The course goes through the scenic (and hilly) Cedarhurst Manor neighborhood of Mt. Lebanon hitting many of the ‘wood’ named streets. The event is competitive and fun for all ages and abilities. We offer a 5K and 1 Mile Run/Walk, Live Age group awards as well as sponsor filled goodie bags, photographers and water on the course, custom finisher medals, fun raffle baskets, and snacks at the finish line! Medical staff, and a police officer will be on site for the safety of all participants.

Hoover Elementary PTA strives to enhance the school experience for all students. The purpose of this event is to raise money to support educational programs throughout the year. We thank you for your support!

    Saturday, May 30, 2026 - PNC Park

    Registration is now open for the fifth-annual Pirates Charities Family Walk!

    In an effort to encourage mindfulness and to combat the stigmas surrounding mental health, Pirates Charities invites our fans, along with their friends and families, to join us and our players, coaches and their families at PNC Park as we walk in support of improving our community’s mental health.

    This unique experience will take participants throughout the best ballpark in America, enjoying unparalleled views of the city and end together on the field to soak in a truly unique and memorable moment. Following the walk, registrants can join us on the Highmark Riverwalk for a carnival-like experience and the chance to engage with local non-profits offering mental health resources.

    All proceeds from the Family Walk will support Pirates Charities and AHN's Chill Mobile Program! Learn more about Chill Mobile here.

    If you register as a group of four (4) or more, you will receive a $5 discount per registrant!

    To show the importance of coming together to combat the ongoing mental health crisis in our community, we encourage you to register as a Team! The three largest teams will be announced during the pre-walk ceremonies and our largest team will brought up on stage for a group photo!

    PLEASE NOTE: Complimentary parking will NOT be provided for attendees of this year's event due to lack of inventory as a result of on-going construction on the North Shore. Guests are encouraged to utilize available parking options in and around the North Shore and Downtown areas.
