PITTSBURGH -- Water in the fountain outside the Allegheny County Courthouse is running blue this week for prostate cancer awareness.

The downtown fountain was dyed blue on Monday to promote early prostate cancer detection, as well as the annual Father's Day 5K/10K run and walk that will be held at the North Shore Riverfront Park near Heinz Field.

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.
