City of Pittsburgh Office of Special Events

Happy Medal Monday to all of our 2026 Greenfield Glide finishers! Yesterday was a beautiful day for our annual cross-country trek through Schenley Park's trails and scenery.

Sunday's race kicked off the City of Pittsburgh Community Footrace Series presented by Allegheny Health Network, with more events to come in August and October. The Greenfield Glide is also made possible with support from Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield, Dollar Bank, Sam's Club, Froggy Radio Pittsburgh, and Allegheny Regional Asset District.

Special Events also sends a special thank you to the Greenfield Community Association and all of their volunteers, and to Mayor Corey O'Connor for sounding the horn and Councilmember Barb Warwick for cheering on our runners!
