Fineview Step Challenge

Fineview Citizens Council is hosting its 31st Annual Urban Step & Trail Challenge on Saturday, October 3, 2026.

Participants will ascend Fineview’s hills, streets, and staircases. Among the steps are Pittsburgh’s STEEPEST stair set (371 steps) on Rising Main Avenue, which is the equivalent of a 17-story building!

The course covers 12 public staircases for a total of over 1,600 steps and provides breathtaking views along the way. All proceeds from the event will benefit our programming related to community beautification, preserving affordability, and events.

Be sure to visit our merch store for great Fineview items that you will want for yourself.
