The CITY SPREE
The CITY SPREE
The City Spree was a 5K race with no course, organized by City of Play in the summers of 2013, 2014, and 2015 in Pittsburgh, PA. By placing checkpoints in expanding radii away from a central hub, participants could chart their own course through a 5K, 10K, half- or full-marathon, using ingenuity, curiosity, and knowledge of their city for the optimal time and experience of the race.
