Steps with St. Dymphna 5k Walk/Run

Steps with St. Dymphna 5k Walk/Run is held in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on October 25, 2026, with both the 5K run and a 1.5-mile walk starting at 10:00 a.m. It is organized by the women's ministry of Saint Vincent College and benefits the Blackburn Center, which supports survivors of physical and emotional trauma in Westmoreland County and runs educational programs in the community.

Having two distances at the same start time makes this a straightforward event to enter as a group: the shorter walk is open to anyone on their feet, while the 5K gives more experienced runners something to push on. The organizers extend the invitation to the Saint Vincent, Latrobe and Greensburg communities and the surrounding area. If the 5K is your first, four weeks of regular running three times a week will get you comfortably to the finish.
