What could be more fun after a night of drinking at a wedding than running a marathon the next morning? Pittsburgh Marathon is May 5th and runs on Liberty Ave. (behind Heinz History Center and near the hotel blocks). If you hop in at that point, you'll already be at Mile 25, which should make completing the race a lot more achievable!
