So last May – you had a good time watching the marathon and you thought maybe next year I will run the Pittsburgh marathon. Well this can be your year to litterally run around Pittsburgh. With the 2010 Pittsburgh Marathon a short 107 days away – time to start training.
This Saturday, January 16, 2010 is the first of the UPMC Marathon Training Seminars. (more…)
If you are looking for a unique way to race for the cure this weekend – you can jump into a pink dress and join the Pittsburgh Hash Hound Harriers for their first annual Pink Dress Run (last summer they held a red dress run).
Pink Dress Run
Saturday, May 9, 2009 at 5pm meet at OTB Cafe on Carson Street
Wear a pink dress and follow the hash for some running and beer.

Bring money for trail. Start shopping for your red dresses if you dont have any yet.For you virgin red dressers:
1. Everyone wears a red dress – men and women.
b. Some do the minimal – wearing red shirts and pants/shorts – pansies!
iii. Some go all out – men in drag and women in prom dresses. – Sexxy sexxy!!!Then we do a hash in our red dresses. That means we follow a trail of flour, and drink alcoholic beverages.

Click here for a blog post from Niels who was blogging about training for the Boston Marathon and writes about his first run with the Pittsburgh Hash House Harriers back in January.
Pittsburgh’s Hash House Harriers (aka PGH H-3) refer to them selves as “the drinking club with a running problem.”
What is Hashing?
You have just stumbled upon an International phenomenon, where a group of people, “Hashers”, follow a cryptic trail that has been marked with flour by the “Hare”. This trail leads to beer, water, snacks, and a lot of camaraderie. Some people run, some people walk, but they all follow these cryptic marks along streets, trails, and off the beaten path until they find a beer stop. Now there is water there too, and snacks, but really we are known as a Beer Drinking Club with a Running Problem.
Pittsburgh’s Hash House Harrier’s are getting into the Pittsburgh 250 spirit with a History Mystery Run This Monday. This mystery run will hit a couple of Pittsburgh’s historical sites and will be about 3-4 miles.
The Hash House Harriers have many other runs planned – check out their website for details.
