Bus Transportation
Shuttle buses to the Start Line will leave from Stanwix between Third and Fourth Avenues from 6:15 a.m. - 7:15 a.m. (late bus at 7:30 a.m.) for the 5K Start Line and from 6:45 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. for the 10K Start Line. Buses will run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. after the race. Riders can purchase bus tickets for $2.25 at the Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Great Race Expo & Packet Pick-Up. Please have fare or bus ticket ready prior to boarding. No pets are allowed on the buses other than guide animals.
Parking
Limited parking is available near the 5K Start Line. The Forbes-Semple garage and the Soldiers and Sailors Garage will both open at 6 am offering a $5 flat rate.
We recommend that runners park Downtown before the race and ride one of the shuttle buses to each Start Line. A $5.00 Sunday parking rate is available in the Pittsburgh Parking Authority Garages as well as the Fifth Avenue Place Parking Garage. A map of garage locations can be picked up at the Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield Great Race Expo.
