The Just A Short Run is on Saturday March 28, 2026. It includes the following events: 5K, 8.1 Mile, Half Marathon, and 30K.
Founded in 2001 to honor Sean T. Smith, who lost his battle with leukemia in 1995, Just A Short Run has helped raise tens of thousands of dollars to benefit local charities working to eradicate leukemia and blood-borne cancers. In our 25th Year, we've recommitted to Sean's legacy, launching a partnership with Cancer Bridges to help people diagnosed with cancer and their families and support networks navigate their cancer journey.
With distances of 5K, 8.1 Miles, 1/2 Marathon & 30K, this event will be your perfect spring marathon tune-up event and regularly draws runners from 30-40 states hoping to prepare for Pittsburgh's hilly terrain.
Location: 10301 Pearce Mill Rd Allison Park PA US - 15101
