The 2026 Fox Chapel Parks 5k and Family 1-Mile Fun Run, proudly presented by UPMC St. Margaret was a resounding success this past Sunday, August 30th. Nearly 200 runners attended this year, as the The Fox Chapel 5K & 1 Mile is more than a race — it’s a celebration of community, nature, and healthy living. Every year, runners and walkers of all ages come together on the beautiful trails of Fox Chapel to support the parks we all love.
Whether you’re a seasoned racer aiming for a personal best or a family looking for a fun morning outdoors, the 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run welcome everyone. The course winds through shaded woodland paths, offering a scenic and refreshing experience.
Organized by the Fox Chapel Parks Conservancy, all proceeds go directly toward maintaining and improving the trails, green spaces, and community programs that make Fox Chapel a wonderful place to live and play.
This year, we paid special focus to the historic Log Cabin and woodlands that Fox Chapel recently purchased to augment its already incredible portfolio of parks and natural lands.
