      "profile": "Don't let the near-zero net change fool you — Pittsburgh is a genuinely tough, rolling course with about +933 ft (284 m) of total climbing across 26.2 miles. It starts on Liberty Avenue downtown near the David L. Lawrence Convention Center and immediately puts you on the city's iconic yellow steel bridges, crossing the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio over the course of the day. The first 11 miles are relatively forgiving as you roll through the Strip District, North Side, and South Side. Then the race turns: the climb from Forbes Avenue up into Oakland around mile 11 packs almost 200 ft of gain in roughly half a mile — right where the half-marathoners peel off to finish — and the rolling grind continues through miles 12 to 20 before one last climb near mile 20. It's USATF-certified and a legitimate Boston qualifier, but it rewards runners who bank nothing early and save their legs for the back-half hills, not a pancake-flat PR play.",
