Hockey is Back and the Pittsburgh Penguins 6.6K has gone virtual!
Celebrate the re-start of the Pittsburgh Penguins season by participating in the 2020 Pittsburgh Penguins Virtual 6.6K presented by Highmark. We might not be able to gather in person at PPG Paints Arena for our annual 6.6K Run and Family Walk, but we can still run together to support our Pittsburgh Penguins and two great Pittsburgh charities; the Mario Lemieux Foundation and the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation.
Included with registration:
- Custom 6.6K short-sleeve tech shirt (mens, womens & youth available)
- Custom 6.6K finishing medal
- 6.6K raffle ticket - participants are entered to win great Penguins prizes and signed memorabilia in the Pittsburgh Penguins Virtual 6.6K Raffle presented by Clearview Federal Credit Union. Winners will be selected and announced when registration closes.
- Printable 6.6K race bib
- Special offers from 6.6K event sponsors
Registration is open from July 15-August 15. You can register and run/walk your virtual 6.6K any time through August 15. There is no official "race day," just make sure to upload your virtual race time by August 15. Please follow instructions in your confirmation email to submit your virtual race time. You must submit your time in order to receive the race packet with the race shirt and medal.
Race packets will be mailed to race finishers during the week of September 14. Shirt, medal and any earned fundraising prizes will be mailed together.
Please visit the FAQ page for additional race information, including international shipping and how to submit your virtual time.
New this year, the event will feature a Bench to 6.6K program brought to you by Highmark Health. Each week throughout the race period, a training schedule will be posted and participants will work their way up to running a full 6.6K! More details here.
