The 2024 Pittsburgh Marathon

We’re thrilled to announce that we are returning as an official charity partner in the Pittsburgh Marathon’s Run for a Reason Program. Our team raised over $6,000 last year to support our Envision endeavors and families. This year, we are eager to exceed that $6,000 mark.

How to Get Involved:

  • Run or walk any of the races

    • **All races can be walked with the exception of the Full Marathon

  • Volunteer

  • Donate to one of our runners

Runners will have the option to select Envision Blind Sports as the charity to run for at any of the Pittsburgh Marathon events on May 4th & 5th. By becoming an EBS Charity Runner, you’ll receive an Envision T-shirt to wear on race day. As you reach certain benchmarks in your fundraising, we are offering opportunities to earn more Envision gear such as sweatshirts and ¼ zips.

Schedule of Events:

May 4th (SAT)

  • 8am - 5K

  • 8:30am - Toddler Trot

  • 9:30 am - Kids Marathon

May 5th (SUN)

  • 7am - Marathon

  • 7am - ½ Marathon

HOW IT WORKS:

Charity runners will have the option to select a charity to run for in Race Roster. After registering and selecting “Envision Blind Sports”, you will receive your own fundraising page that you can personalize through Race Roster and use to collect donations. If you raise your fundraising minimum based on the chart below, your registration fee will be refunded and the balance will be donated to Envision.
