Pittsburgh Marathon 2025

Service will be extensively detoured the weekend of May 2 through May 4 for the 2025 DICK'S Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon and related events. We recommend that customers allow for extra travel time.

Detours will begin about noon on Friday, May 2, with various road closures impacting service through about 7pm on Sunday, May 4.

For questions or updates on race day, customers are encouraged to call Customer Service at 412-442-2000.

Important Service Information

In previous years, PRT has provided extra service to assist runners and spectators traveling to the marathon start line and to connect to detoured buses. Due to current staffing and hiring challenges, unfortunately this extra service cannot be guaranteed.
