2023 marked the inaugural year for WORK as an official charity partner of the Pittsburgh Marathon's Run For A Reason Program. Thanks to the support of our runners and community, we raised over $6,000 while walkers and runners took on their challenge ranging from the 5K distance all the way to the marathon on the weekend of May 7th. For those that met their fundraising goal, they received an additional perk of racing for free, all while making an impact for our families in Haiti.

Transform your running experience into a powerful act of change through the Pittsburgh Marathon Run for a Reason Charity Program. This is your chance to lace up to support our programming of education, healthcare and jobs for our families in Menelas, Haiti. By running on behalf of WORK, you're not only embarking on a journey of personal achievement but also becoming a champion for positive impact. You'll also enjoy the perk of running for free if you reach your fundraising goal!
Register for any distance during the Pittsburgh Marathon (pet walk, toddler trot, kids marathon, 5K run, marathon relay team, half marathon, marathon, back half marathon). Each distance has its own fundraising goal and can be found here. We'll provide you with the fundraising tips and tools to help you reach your goal, and running tips to help you train for the big day. If you reach your fundraising goal, you will receive a refund for the cost of your bib when you registered.
