Each year The Great Race donates $1 from every Great Race and Dollar Bank Junior Great Race registration to the Richard S. Caliguiri Amyloidosis Fund, a fund held by the Pittsburgh Foundation that is dedicated to supporting medical research. Back again for 2024 -- $5 from every One GREAT Challenge registration will be donated.
Enjoy fun and fitness during the 29th annual Dollar Bank Junior Great Race! Children can participate in the Family Fun Run, Tot Trot or Diaper Dash to earn their own medal and shirt.
The annual Richard S. Caliguiri City of Pittsburgh Great Race started in 1977 when former Pittsburgh Mayor Richard S. Caliguiri established the race as a “community fun run.” Since that inaugural competition, nearly a half million people have participated in the Great Race, making the event the largest 10K race in Pennsylvania.
