Thousands of runners filled Pittsburgh streets this Sunday for the annual Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon. Despite rainy weather early in the morning, the race kicked off at 7 a.m. as scheduled. Onlookers cheered on the determined (and wet) marathon participants with flowers, noisemakers and signs like, “Run like there’s a hot guy in front of you and a creepy one behind you!!! :).”
