What: Riverview 5k

When: 7 p.m.
Riverview Park 5K is part of the Citiparks Community Footraces Series. This series consists of 4 footraces sprawled throughout the City of Pittsburgh. Riverview Park 5K takes place in the hidden jewel of the North Side of Pittsburgh – Riverview Park. Tucked away in the hills of the North Side, Riverview Park is full of challenging trails as well as being home to a challenging paved 5K course.
It is that course that serves host to an original race – a Friday night run. Kick off your weekend in the healthiest possible way – by running or walking a 5K in a lavishly forested Riverview Park. Run past the Observatory and throughout the park to the finish line as the crowd of on-lookers and spectators cheer you on as you complete the Riverview Park 5K.
