From what I understood, in the past there was a 5K race and it was called "Fineview Step-a-thon". This year, a new course was designed by the person that lead the Sept 13 Venture Outdoors event "Billy Goat Hike" in the same neighborhood. This new course is measured to be 4.5 miles long (incorrectly advertised to be 5 miles), weaving through the hillslopes and maximizing the use of public steps, including the longest reported set of continuous steps in the city, Raising Main St. This new course and event is called "Fineview Step Challenge". Race started on time at 8:30, with about 25 people participating. The author of the book Steps of Pittsburgh, Ron Regan, was an observer. He said he was later going to attend the Step Trek event on the south side. neighborhood association:
