We at Fleet Feet Pittsburgh are excited to return to Union Fitness for our group long runs on
Sunday, September 7 and Sunday, November 2.
Our partnership with Union Fitness is a natural fit. Both of our organizations are dedicated to
promoting health, wellness and togetherness in Pittsburgh. Teaming up allows us to provide
even more opportunities for people to move, connect and grow stronger as a group. By bringing
runners into Union Fitness’s inspiring space, we’re not just creating a starting point for long runs
— we’re building a bridge between two communities who share a passion for fitness and a
commitment to helping people achieve their goals.
In addition to beginning long runs from the gym in the past, Nova Place is home to our annual
Holiday Lights Charity Run. This community event combines the spirit of the season with a
meaningful cause. Each year, this run raises funds for a local charity while offering participants a
tour of Pittsburgh’s holiday lights. We invite runners and walkers of all levels to join through
options of 2, 4, or 6 miles. This year, the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank is our charity
Partner.
Starting from Nova Place, our route will showcase Pittsburgh’s best holiday displays. Highlights
include running through a European-style Christmas market, a loop around the downtown
business district and, of course, a view of the iconic home of the Steelers. The event concludes
back at Nova Place, where participants can enjoy post-run refreshments and refuel. Last year’s
event drew more than 300 attendees.
Save the date: this year’s Holiday Lights Charity Run, sponsored by Union Fitness, will be
Thursday, December 18.
