24th Annual Pittsburgh StepTrek

Posted on October 5, 2024 by cara.jette

Pittsburgh StepTrek is the annual South Side Slopes Neighborhood Association fundraiser that supports projects for the betterment of the community. This family-friendly event combines photography, historic narrative and a sense of neighborhood dependent upon steps.  Through this annual event, we keep the city focused on maintenance of city steps throughout the neighborhood.

Buy Tickets!

A link to download the digital maps and route narratives will be sent on October 4 (by 10pm).  In-person check-in, where you can pick up a hard-copy map, will begin at 10am on Oct 5 at S 28th & Sidney Streets (in the SouthSide Works). You do not need to stop at in-person check-in unless you are picking up a map or pre-ordered merch.
