PUMPed to Run - PtR

PUMPed to Run is a downtown Pittsburgh based morning running group composed of residents of local homeless shelters, and PSL volunteer mentor runners.

Through the leadership of PUMP staff, Allegheny Department of Human Services, and an Advisory Committee the PUMPed to Run program seeks to encourage sportsmanship, and a team mentality to help set physical running goals, promote confidence and encourage self sufficiency. This approach will support active community participants in building a better Pittsburgh for everyone by encouraging our members

to be involved in change and connectivity. We will ensure that everyone has a place, a voice, and access to information and resources.

We couldn’t do PUMped to Run without you! Join us for our annual Volunteer Appreciation Night on Thursday, January 22, from 7–9 pm at Fat Head’s on East Carson Street in the South Side. We hope you can join us for a drink, delicious food, great community and a few exciting announcements!

We’re also using this gathering as an opportunity to give back. We will be collecting winter coats to deliver to local shelters for individuals in need. If you have a gently used or new coat to spare, please consider bringing it with you that evening.

Please email [email protected] with questions or to RSVP! We hope to see you there!

In 2025, PUMPed to Run took an exciting step forward by launching programming at a new shelter in Pittsburgh’s East End! This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of our volunteers, the partnership of shelter staff, and the commitment of participants who showed up week after week.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this first year such a success. Your time, energy, and belief in the power of movement continue to grow our impact — one step at a time.
