The Swissvale Mile is a community family-friendly fitness event. Choose from a one mile timed race or a dog-friendly, family fun walk. The Swissvale Mile is a 100% volunteer organized event funded by registrations, sponsorships, and donations. In addition to supporting our community, this event is a fun way to be active and to get to know the neighbors and neighborhood.
Your involvement makes a direct positive impact on our community! Since the Mile was founded in 2014, proceeds from the Mile have been used to support many worthwhile causes including the Woodland Hills Chromebook Fund (helped provide Chromebooks to students forced to go virtual in 2020), The Swissvale Orioles Baseball and Softball Association, the Swissvale Community Enrichment Fund, our Swissvale K-9 Officers and the annual Swissvale Juneteenth Celebration!
For the 4th year, are partnering with Swissvale Rotary to multiply our local impact and support their work in the community! The Rotary provides annual funding to Carnegie Free Library of Swissvale, the Swissvale Senior Center and Community Days and has donated to the Woodland Hills Foundation Backpacks of Hope, both the Swissvale and Union Baptist Church food pantries, the WH Girls’ Basketball team and the Swissvale/Braddock Football organization. Last year we were able to contribute $3,000.00 to Swissvale Rotary from our proceeds!
Thank you for being involved!

Learn more about the host city, Pittsburgh.
The pleasure of Pittsburgh remains a well-kept secret. Though not built up by reputation, the city's unique combination of bridges, steep hills, and broad rivers make it one of the most naturally scenic cities in the country. Cheap food and beer abound in this true sports town and the locals are amazingly friendly. A city of about 303,000 (2021) in Allegheny County, at the center of a metro area of about 2.4 million in southwestern Pennsylvania, Pittsburgh is situated at the confluence of three rivers: the Monongahela and Allegheny Rivers, which meet to form the Ohio River. The city's unique terrain has resulted in an unusual city design and a hodge-podge of unique neighborhood "pockets" with diverse ethnic and architectural heritage. Pittsburgh has a rich history and, for its size, an unusual array of cultural treasures, largely thanks to the wealth that was generated when Pittsburgh was a hub of industry.
