The Great Race, held annually in West Mifflin, PA, is a premier running event that includes the flagship 10K race and the Dollar Bank Junior Great Race, which encourages children's participation through fun activities such as the Family Fun Run and Tot Trot. Since its inception in 1977, the race has become a community staple, with nearly half a million participants making it the largest 10K race in Pennsylvania.
In addition to promoting fitness and community engagement, the Great Race also supports a vital cause by donating $1 from each registration to the Richard S. Caliguiri Amyloidosis Fund to aid medical research. The event culminates with an awards ceremony celebrating participants and offering raffle prizes, reinforcing its commitment to both athletic achievement and community support.
