New Course for 2025!

We’re excited to announce that The Christmas Eve 5K has a brand-new course for 2025! Thanks to the incredible growth of the event, we’ve officially outgrown our previous home at North Park.

This year, the race moves to Pittsburgh’s scenic North Shore, starting and finishing near PNC Park. Runners will enjoy a festive, fast course along the riverfront with breathtaking city skyline views and plenty of holiday cheer.

Join us as we make new memories in the heart of the city—bigger, brighter, and merrier than ever before!
