PIC5K Walk/Run and Picnic
The PIC5K Walk/Run and Picnic is an annual community event organized by Pittsburgh Indian Community and Friends, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 47-1310070). The event takes place at the North Park Boathouse and combines a community run or walk with a picnic, food, and other festivities.
The event is volunteer run with no organizational overhead; core volunteers cover event costs so donations support local nonprofits directly. Over the last 11 years the PIC5K organization has raised more than $901,000 and supported 34 nonprofits. For 2026 the group set an annual fundraising target of $100,000 and plans to establish a volunteer program. Educational investment is a primary focus; selected nonprofit partners agree to use 100 percent of the investment on programs rather than overhead. The Homeless Children Education Fund is listed among the education oriented nonprofits to receive investment this year.
Registration is tiered by date: early registration is priced at $9.99 until August 9, advance registration at $19.99 until August 30, and regular registration at $29.99. The event is presented as the 13th annual edition and describes its mission as educating, engaging, and empowering children in the Greater Pittsburgh region.
