FRICK PARK RACE 4: The Last One

Join us for the final installment of our 4-part race series through the trails of Pittsburgh’s largest municipal park - Frick Park. Race #4 is 5.24 miles and 560 feet of climb!

Year 2 of the Frick Park Trail Race Series is finally here! We couldn't contain our excitement for 2025, which is why it's a Spring Series and not a Summer Series. It was just so darn hot in July. Don't worry, we will likely double up this year with a mini fall series or weekend race in September or October.

Race Dates/Times 

• Race #1 Wednesday, April 30th 6:00pm
• Race #2 Wednesday, May 7th 6:00pm
• Race #3 Wednesday, May 14th 6:30pm
• Race #4 Wednesday, May 21st 6:30pm

Each race is roughly 5-6 miles in length. Races 1, 2 and 4 will be traditional races, whereas Race #3 (May 14th) will be an orienteering-themed event. Think scavenger hunt with checkpoints and no set course.

There will be 1 aid station out there (halfway through) near the Frick Lower Parking Lot with gels, water and small snacks.

We'll have prizes for Top 3 Men, Women and Non-Binary. Yes, juicy watermelon will be on hand. Hopefully a food truck, too!

Race shirts will be provided to all registrants this year. You only receive 1 race throughout the series, although anyone who signs up for the whole series receives a special item at our final race. T-shirt design will be unveiled March 1st, 2025. This year's design crafted by the super talented Tara Banatwala.
