This is America's Mile: Where Every Step Tells a Story

 

Fifteen years ago, P3R embarked on a journey with a simple yet profound vision: to bring our community together, one mile at a time, to challenge one another. What began as a local one-mile race on the vibrant streets of Pittsburgh has blossomed into a national phenomenon. America's Mile represents the culmination of years of passion, determination, and the collective spirit of thousands who have crossed the finish line. Today, it stands as a testament to the power of community and the enduring appeal of the mile — a unit of measure that has become a national treasure. With the support of VisitPITTSBURGH, we've been able to expand our horizons, welcoming more participants from across the country than ever before.

As we prepare for the next chapter in this extraordinary journey, we look forward to welcoming you once again to the scenic North Shore in 2025. Whether you are a first-timer or a seasoned pro, a local enthusiast or an elite athlete from across the country, this event is for you. This is America’s Mile, presented by VisitPITTSBURGH.

This is America’s Mile, where dreams are pursued, and personal bests are achieved, all set against the backdrop of Pittsburgh's stunning skyline.

America's Mile continues to evolve, embracing a broader spectrum of athleticism and community spirit. From the start line on River Avenue to the finish line near Acrisure Stadium, every participant’s mile is a testament to the diversity, strength, and resilience of our community.
