The Hoffners, as well as more than 5,500 participants, pushed through the pain and rain and crossed the finish line.”It’s a lot to see all these runners, 5,600 record-breaking numbers this year for this race, and taking to the streets of Pittsburgh for what has become this favorite fall race, get people out there moving, whether you are running, walking, whatever, you are moving today,” Ellen Rossi, the president of EQT Foundation, said. Frank Lara and Cleo Boyd took first in the 10 miler for men’s and women’s, respectively.Samuel Hobbeheydar and Allison Plassio got first in the men’s and women’s 10K.And while the competition made for some good fun, runners, like Anette Nance, were just out to move their bodies.”I have kids, and I want them to know that you have to live a healthy lifestyle.
