Road closures, parking restrictions announced for EQT Pittsburgh 10 Miler & 10K

PITTSBURGH — A record 6,500 runners and walkers are expected to participate in the EQT Pittsburgh 10 Miler & 10K this Sunday.

The event will bring temporary road closures and parking restrictions to several Pittsburgh neighborhoods.

Race organizer P3R announced that road closures along the course will be in effect from 6:30 a.m. to noon on race day. Parking restrictions will take effect earlier in the morning to clear the course.

Parking will be prohibited on all streets along the race route beginning at 4 a.m. Sunday. Vehicles remaining in restricted areas after that time will be towed.

The 10K race will start at 7:30 a.m. on West General Robinson Street near PNC Park on the North Shore. The 10-mile race will follow at 8:30 a.m., starting on West Carson Street near F.N.B. Stadium in the Station Square area.

Both races will finish Downtown in front of EQT Plaza at the corner of 7th Street and Liberty Avenue. Street reopening times will vary by location as participants pass through each sector and officials advise residents, businesses and visitors to allow extra travel time and use alternate routes.
