“The Pittsburgh Marathon Weekend is more than a race — it’s a movement that unites our city,” said Troy Schooley, P3R CEO. “Whether you’re chasing your first finish or your fastest time, the energy, passion, and stories behind every mile make this a one-of-a-kind experience. We can’t wait to welcome thousands to the start line in 2026.”

Runners have the option to raise money for a charity of their choice when they register. Since 2009, the Run for a Reason Charity program, presented by KeyBank, has raised more than $18 million for charities that support communities on a local and national scale.

P3R predicts $1.5 million to be raised for charity in 2026.
