Whether you participated virtually or you joined us in-person today at PPG Paints Arena, THANK YOU to all of our 6.6K participants for supporting the Mario Lemieux Foundation and the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation by registering for this year’s Pittsburgh Penguins 6.6K Run and Family Walk presented by Highmark. We were so happy to see so many of you back in-person today and thrilled to see Pens Nation represented in 45 states, including D.C., and 10 countries through our virtual race option.
Thanks to your generosity, over $175,0000 was raised for the Mario Lemieux Foundation’s cancer research and patient care initiatives and the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation’s youth hockey programs.

🐧 Penguins 6.6k Race Recap!
🐧 This was such a flippin' cool event, even though I ran it coming off a 24+ hour shift. Still can't believe I PR'd my 4 mile and 6.6k times during this! 🔥
🐧 I love running into friends at races, it has me pen-grinning from ear to ear! 😊
🐧 Part of me is sad the fall racing season is almost over. Waddle I do without races?! 🤷🏻♂️
🐧 More race recap reels coming soon! 🙌

Pittsburgh Rogue Runners had so much fun this past Sunday at the 10th annual mariolemieuxfdn and pensfoundation 6.6k Run presented by highmark! This race is one of our favorite races to kick off the fall race season, and it’s always so nice to high five 🖐🏼 Mario at the finish! Big thanks to steelcityrrc for having an awesome pace team, including our very own Joy as the 12:30 pacer! We also had two members, Chuck and Bernadette, recognized as “perfect racers” as they both participated in every race! Big thanks to all of the sponsors and volunteers who worked so hard to make this great event happen!
Before, during , and after the best race in Pittsburgh!! Tenth year running the #pens66k and can't wait for another 10!!
Ignore my red face from the finish line, I was way too excited to see both Colby and TK high fiving us with the Mario 😍🤣

🏅 Medal Monday 🏅
Added another neat medal to my growing collection yesterday after the 10th annual Pittsburgh Penguins 6.6k (my first time running the race)! In classic Pittsburgh fashion, it was a cold and windy morning, but I still had a great time running a fun course that included hills, bridges, and tunnels. 🏙️
Race number 7 of the fall season is coming up this weekend, and I'll be trying to PR my half marathon. Can't wait for race day already!
