UPMC Health Plan Pittsburgh Half Marathon course description
The downtown loop crosses the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio river corridors while moving through several neighborhoods. Bridge ramps and city grades interrupt the rhythm, so runners benefit from pacing by effort rather than chasing every split.
