Greenfield Glide 5K Run & Walk

Lace up your shoes for the Greenfield Glide 5K Run & Walk, an exhilarating event set to take place on Sunday, June 7, 2026, in the scenic heart of Pittsburgh, PA. This 5K race invites both runners and walkers to experience a challenging yet rewarding journey through the beautiful trails of Schenley Park. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 78°F and lows around 59°F, with an 18% chance of precipitation, providing generally favorable weather for a dynamic race experience.

The Greenfield Glide is renowned for its distinctly hilly, cross-country course, making it a true test of endurance and a favorite among those seeking a spirited challenge. The route begins and concludes at the turn-around on Overlook Drive by the Oval Park Shelter, guiding participants on a running tour that predominantly navigates the park's picturesque trails. As the opening race in the prestigious City of Pittsburgh Community Footrace Series, and with a history spanning over 35 years, this event boasts a strong reputation for its demanding yet scenic terrain.

Presented by the City of Pittsburgh Office of Special Events in collaboration with the Greenfield Community Association, the Greenfield Glide offers more than just a race; it's a vibrant community event. While the course itself is known for its hills, the encouraging atmosphere and stunning natural surroundings of Schenley Park make every stride worthwhile. Awards are given not only to overall and age group finishers but also to top Greenfield residents, middle-of-the-pack runners, and teams, alongside special categories like Clydesdale/Lady Athena and even "best costume" for walkers, ensuring a celebratory finish for many.
