About this race

What is the Tropical 5K Classic?


The Tropical 5K Classic is a fun Hawaiian-themed obstacle course race held at Allegheny RiverTrail Park, Aspinwall. Participants will be crawling, climbing, bouncing and bending (or just walking) to raise funds for The Stanley M. Marks Blood Cancer Research Fund and Lending Hearts.

Each team is responsible for carrying one pineapple throughout the course without letting it touch the ground. Costumes are often worn and those who participate in the dress-up, compete for the best costume prize! After the race, participants and sponsors are invited to join the party with LIVE music provided by local band MILEPOST 6; plus great food, drinks, awards and tons of fun!
