More than 3,500 racers from 36 states and four countries are expected to participate in the race in-person and virtually, according to P3R.

Each mile will have a different Pittsburgh theme allowing runners to explore the many unique Pittsburgh traditions including parking chairs, pierogi, cookie tables, pickles and "Pittsburghese."
