I was going to do the half last year, and then pulled a muscle in my back the weekend before the race. I had back spasms the whole week leading up to the race and couldn't run. I did go into Pittsburgh on race weekend though. The course goes one block in front of my mother-in-law's house. I am definitely planning on doing the full next year.

Both races unexpectedly filled last year.

See if this map works for you. The course isn't as hilly as you might think it is. It has one big hill between miles 12 and 13.5 as you climb into the University section of Pittsburgh. The finish is downhill from miles 22.5 to 24.
