About the Event

The RiverBOO! Park 5K takes place in the hidden gem that is Riverview Park on Pittsburgh's Northside. This unique sunset run/ walk takes participants through the beautiful, scenic park, complete with a trip around the Allegheny Observatory on Observatory Hill. The course completes with a challenge as the final mile is almost all uphill! The RiverBOO! Park 5K is presented by the City of Pittsburgh Office of Special Events. It is a family friendly event including a costume contest for youth ages 0-15, and special seasonal activities sponsored by community partners.

NOTICE OF ROAD CLOSURE: Due to landslide remediation through NOVEMBER, RIVERVIEW AVE will be restricted with partial road closures along the racecourse to vehicles trying to park from PERRYSVILLE AVE. To ease parking for residents along Riverview Ave, Race Coordinators suggest entering the park from Mairdale Street and Riverview Drive (WOODS RUN SIDE OF THE PARK).

*Shirts available to the first 200 registrants.

About Pittsburgh

Learn more about the host city, Pittsburgh.

The pleasure of Pittsburgh remains a well-kept secret. Though not built up by reputation, the city's unique combination of bridges, steep hills, and broad rivers make it one of the most naturally scenic cities in the country. Cheap food and beer abound in this true sports town and the locals are amazingly friendly. A city of about 303,000 (2021) in Allegheny County, at the center of a metro area of about 2.4 million in southwestern Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh is situated at the confluence of three rivers: the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, which meet to form the Ohio River. The city's unique terrain has resulted in an unusual city design and a hodge-podge of unique neighborhood "pockets" with diverse ethnic and architectural heritage. Pittsburgh has a rich history and, for its size, an unusual array of cultural treasures, largely thanks to the wealth that was generated when Pittsburgh was a hub of industry.
