About the Event

What is the Tropical 5K Classic?

The Tropical 5K Classic is a fun Hawaiian-themed obstacle course race held at Allegheny RiverTrail Park, Aspinwall. Participants will be crawling, climbing, bouncing and bending (or just walking) to raise funds for The Stanley M. Marks Blood Cancer Research Fund and Lending Hearts.

Each team is responsible for carrying one pineapple throughout the course without letting it touch the ground. Costumes are often worn and those who participate in the dress-up, compete for the best costume prize! After the race, participants and sponsors are invited to join the party with LIVE music provided by local band MILEPOST 6; plus great food, drinks, awards and tons of fun!

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.
