a Pittsburgh running club where all are welcome, every step is celebrated, and community matters most.

we Value

  • We care about each other, our neighbors, the communities we're within, the businesses we partner with, the sidewalks and trails we run on, the city we call home and the causes we support. This means being intentional and respectful every step of the way.

  • We are committed to creating an environment where people of all backgrounds, races, nationalities, ages, gender identities, physical abilities, and experience levels feel included, supported, and valued. This means listening to, learning from, and amplifying underrepresented voices in our community. 

  • Running can be intimidating and scary, but it doesn’t have to be. We’re here to cheer each other on, hype each other up, celebrate each other, and have a good time while moving our bodies. This means being a place where all runners can find connection, no matter their goals.
