Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma Run

Lace up for a cause that truly moves the needle at the annual Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma Run on Saturday, June 20, 2026, in scenic Allison Park, PA. Starting and finishing at the North Park Boathouse, this inspiring event offers participants a timed 5K run or a more leisurely 1-mile walk, where even jogging strollers and leashed pets are welcome to join the fun. Expect typical race day conditions with highs around 81F and lows around 60F, with a 21% chance of precipitation, making for pleasant running weather. This race is more than just a physical challenge; it's a vibrant gathering filled with a bounce house, kids' activities, team areas, a basket raffle, and a DJ, fostering a lively and supportive atmosphere for all ages. Shuttle service will be available from the swimming pool and skating rink lots to ease arrival.

The Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma Run holds a significant history, having evolved from its inception in 2010 to become a 100% volunteer-led non-profit dedicated to funding life-saving sarcoma research and advocacy. Since 2011, the event has raised over $3 million, directly supporting crucial studies and the Musculoskeletal Oncology Tumor Registry and Tissue Bank (MOTOR) in the Pittsburgh area and beyond. The community-driven spirit is palpable, bringing together sarcoma patients, their families, and dedicated supporters who share a common goal of making a tangible difference in the fight against this rare cancer. Onsite registration opens at 7:30 AM, with the race officially kicking off at 9:00 AM.

Whether you're a seasoned runner aiming for a personal best on the 5K course or prefer to enjoy a meaningful walk with loved ones, the Pittsburgh Cure Sarcoma Run offers an uplifting experience in a beautiful park setting. Your participation contributes directly to vital research, making this an event where every step truly counts towards a future free from sarcoma. For those unable to attend in person, a livestream option allows for virtual participation from anywhere, further expanding the reach of this impactful fundraiser.
