    Proceeds from the race/walk benefit the Obediah Cole Foundation for Prostate Cancer, founded by cancer survivors Jerry Bortman, Jerry Livingston and ex-Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Robin Cole.

    People who are not running can take part in the one-mile promenade stroll starting near Jerome Bettis' Grille 36 on North Shore Drive.

    Free prostate screenings for men older than 40 will be available at the race packet pickup area outside Heinz Field Gate A from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday.
