The 29th Annual Gatorade/Steelers 5K Race, Walk and Kids Kickoff Run will be Monday, Sept. 4 at 8 a.m. at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

The race benefits the Art Rooney Scholarship Fund and features a level course highlighted by a spectacular finish on the Heinz Field warning track.
 
Gatorade is the title sponsor and Nike is the official outfitter of the race.  Additional event partners include Giant Eagle, UPMC Centers for Rehab Services, KDKA-TV 2, WDVE-FM and ESPN Radio 970.

The Art Rooney Scholarship Fund was established in memory of the late founder of the Steelers, who died in August of 1988 after living most of his life on the North Side.

Since its beginning, the scholarship has awarded grants to more than 80 local students.
