Really great race! I was a little disappointed at the party that the beer ran out earlier than last year. i finished almost 10 minutes faster last year, but by the time i had one beer, they took down the beer tent. also, there should have been recycling. i was pretty excited to get a tech shirt this year instead of shorts. i will definitely do this race every year and i frequently recommend it to friends!

Love this race! Was a little disappointed with the beer selection this year compared to last. And I definitely agree that there should be recycling bins for the glass and plastic. The food is great. The people are wonderful. Will do this one again and again!

This was a great race. We had 3 ladies running the 5k and 3 ladies running the 10k. We will definitely be back next year. We thought this was a great warm up for the Marathon in 2 weeks - we have 2 teams running the relay - whoohoo.

I was disappointed when there wasn't any Pizza after the race and the beer ran out very early. But the food was good and plentiful. And we were so happy when one our group won a golf outing as a door prize.

Love this run! Even the rain and cold couldn't keep us away. I also really appreciate the great food an drink afterwards! My only disappointment is that there are no RECYCLING bins on site. All those plastic and glass bottles being thrown away is such a waste. It can really deliver a positive message to adults and kids, especially at a park where the environment is so important. See you next year!!

The event/race was great, but I believe you should have separate containers for bottles/recyclables to throw away.

AWESOME race. Nice change of pace running the Montour Trail, but, hey, let's be honest, this race is more for the after party. LOTS of GREAT food. Other than the weather, which they have no control over, the only thing I can say is that I wish they had stocked more beer. I ran the 10K so was there later, but, did last year as well and I remember the beer lasting another hour...........STILL, this is a MUST race in the Pittsburgh area no matter what section you live in (I drove 45 minutes).

Wonderfully organized event. Last year I ran this for my first 5K ever, and then ran several more last year. Last year and this year, it is by far one of the better organized events I've attended. This time I ran the 10 K after my husband ran the 5k. It was a fun family event. This will be an annual MUST DO race for us.

The staff at Burgh's make this event one of the most enjoyable. This is the 5th year running this race. It gets better and better.

The organizers did a great job, the trail was a great surface to run on. The swag was good, overall I had a great time and will definitely do this race again.
