For a third year in a row, Team Red, White and Blue will have a huge team of runners participating in the Pittsburgh Marathon.  We will all wear our bright red Eagle shirts in support of a cause very dear to the hearts of All Americans...supporting our Veterans and their families! 

Please join our team through the Marathon and beyond.  We appreciate any and all support whether a direct donation; sponsoring a runner; joining as an athlete or advocate; or just contacting us to see how you can partner with our great organization.  The Pittsburgh Marathon is a great fit because it takes place in a fantastic City in this amazing country - it raises money and awareness for our Veterans and it is all done through physical fitness. 

Please join us - please donate.

EMAIL KATE BIELAK (Chapter Captain for Western PA) to get on our mailing list for updates and info!  kate.bielak@teamrwb.org  I will help and answer any questions or concerns too!!!!

Team RWB does not have an actual race shirt.  We wear "The Eagle".  Go to www.teamrwb.org to sign up to be a Team RWB member.  Veterans get a Free shirt if they agree to pay for shipping.  Non Veterans have the option to buy a shirt in our Team RWB store at "Wear The Eagle".

Our runners also like to carry the American Flag.  Will you carry Old Glory for the Pittsburgh Marathon, 1/2 or Relay?  Start training now and feel the proud sensation of raising the flag through the streets of Pittsburgh all for a great cause.
