I look forward to joining the people of our unique neighborhoods as they line the streets of Pittsburgh to cheer on the runners.” “For 19 years, the Pittsburgh Marathon brought international recognition, increased health awareness, and substantial economic benefits to Southwestern Pennsylvania,” said Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato. “The Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon is the perfect vehicle to showcase our region as a great place to live, work, play, and run.”
