Yes at http://www.showclix.com/event/steptrek. Online registration is open until the night before StepTrek.
Tickets cost $13 in advance. Children under 16 are free. Tickets will be $16 on the day of StepTrek.
Can I register on the day of StepTrek?
Yes, you can register but it will be a bit more expensive than advanced registration. Go to the “Walk Up” table at the registration tent.
How long will registration be open?
From 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. you can register and pick up a map. If you arrive later, the staging area may be torn down by the time that you return. You can keep the maps and walk another day, as well. However, the walkability of the routes cannot be guaranteed after StepTrek.
Yes, there will be food trucks, and you are a short walk away from the vibrant Carson Street lined with restaurants.
Where do I go for registration?
Parking is available at the UPMC Mercy South Side Outpatient Center employee parking lot at 21st & Josephine Streets, at the foot of the South Side Slopes. The Registration Tent is located in South Side Park at 21st & Josephine Streets. The registration tent has two areas, one for pre-registration and another for walk-ups.
If you have preregistered, there are no additional admission fees. The t-shirt will be available for sale along with t-shirts from past StepTreks. You may also wish to browse the marketplace or food trucks.
We hope that it doesn’t rain, but we will be there rain or shine on the first Saturday of October!
