PITTSBURGH, PA (June 1, 2022)/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Steelers Nation can kick off the 2022 season with the Steelers Run and Walk, presented by Gatorade!

All proceeds will benefit the Art Rooney Scholarship Fund and Chuck Noll Foundation.

“This event has become a Labor Day Weekend tradition for Steelers fans of all ages,” said Lynne Molyneaux, Alumni Relations Manager for the Pittsburgh Steelers. “Participants love the opportunity of crossing the finish line inside of Heinz Field and celebrating all their accomplishments exactly where their favorite team plays. The virtual option also gives Steelers Nation the option to participate from wherever they wave their Terrible Towel.”

All participants will receive a race shirt, finisher’s medal and goodie bag. Registrants will also be entered for chances to win prizes from the time they register to event day, including items autographed by Steelers players and a grand prize trip to the regular season home opener.
