2 running events in Shaler Township, Pennsylvania

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.

QMNTY 5K Safe Race—a community-centered run/walk designed to celebrate movement, joy, and collective care while raising critical support for the young people we serve. The Safe Race is more than a 5K; it’s a visible commitment to creating a region where every young person and community member has access to affirming shelter, resources, and community connection.

The race takes place on the Three Rivers Heritage Trail. Starting and ending at Milvale Riverfront Park. It is an out and back race with a turn around point near Heinz Street.
