\u201cThe Turkey Trot has become a beloved Pittsburgh Thanksgiving tradition because it brings people together for a great cause,\u201d P3R Interim CEO and Board President Bob Shooer said in a release.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhether you\u2019re running, walking or cheering from the sidelines, it\u2019s a fun way to start the holiday with family and friends while also giving back to our community.\u201d<\/p>\n
P3R has yet to release a course map, although past races have taken place Downtown and on the North Shore. The organization expects approximately 8,500 participants this year, up from 8,000 in 2025.<\/p>\n
