Event summary

Join us for The Swissvale Mile on Saturday, July 12th, 2025, in the vibrant community of Pittsburgh, Allegheny! This family-friendly fitness event invites participants to choose between a thrilling one-mile timed race or a delightful dog-friendly family walk. Since its inception in 2014, The Swissvale Mile has been a fantastic way to engage with neighbors while promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Not only does this event encourage fitness and fun, but it also has a profound impact on the community. Proceeds from the race support essential local initiatives, from providing Chromebooks to students in need to funding sports programs and community enrichment projects. This year, we are excited to partner with the Swissvale Rotary to further amplify our local impact, contributing to various community resources such as libraries, senior centers, and food pantries. Come be a part of this uplifting event that celebrates community spirit and wellness while making a difference!

Organiser's Description

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 3rd 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!
