\"EthanPITTSBURGH \u2014<\/p>\n

This morning, the annual EQT Pittsburgh 10-miler ran through downtown Pittsburgh, breaking records along the way. <\/p>\n

The race had 6,500 participants from 33 states and six countries, setting a new record for participation. <\/p>\n

“It’s the best feeling you can ask for,” said Jim Popovich, CEO of P3R, which organized the race, along with others throughout the year. “The runners show out, the participants, the fans, everybody. Anytime you can be part of a record, that’s pretty exciting.” <\/p>\n

Victor Shitsama, who had the fastest finish time of 48 minutes and 16 seconds, shared his excitement with Pittsburgh’s Action News 4. <\/p>\n

“The experience of meeting people, the energy around, I really enjoyed that,” said Shitsama. “I enjoyed the course, too. It’s kind of up and down, so it’s a pretty nice course.” <\/p>\n

Molly Grabill was the fastest woman to run the race with a time of 55 minutes and 40 seconds. <\/p>\n
