Pittsburgh Melanoma Foundation 5k
The Pittsburgh Melanoma Foundation 5k is a community athletic event held in South Park, Pennsylvania. The in-person race takes place on Corrigan Drive, offering a course that starts near the playground and proceeds toward Library Road. Participants pass the local ice rink before returning to finish near the original starting point.
The event offers several registration categories to accommodate different preferences:
- 5k (Timed): An in-person race for all ages that includes a timing chip.
- 5k (Untimed): A category specifically for participants under 18 years old.
- 5k (Virtual): An option for those who choose to complete the distance at their own location and convenience.
Registered participants for the in-person timed event receive a moisture-wicking t-shirt, a bib number, and a timing chip. For the untimed and virtual options, the registration includes the moisture-wicking shirt and a race bib, though no timing chip is provided. The virtual registration also covers the cost of shipping race materials to the participant.
This annual event has historically drawn participants from numerous states across the country, particularly through its virtual component. The in-person course layout utilizes the flat paved surfaces of Corrigan Drive, making it accessible for both runners and walkers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
