PITTSBURGH — Registration is now open for the second annual Pittsburgh Parade Day Dash, presented by GNC, set to take place on Mar. 14.

The event will feature a 5K run and a 1-Mile Family Fun Run/Walk, providing a festive start to the city’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. Participants will have the opportunity to enjoy a scenic course through Downtown Pittsburgh, culminating near the parade route.

“The Parade Day Dash is a perfect way to bring people together through movement, wellness, and community pride,” said Michael Costello, CEO of GNC.
