Inaugural Miles, Pancakes, and Purpose event raises over $1,000 for cancer support group
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Hundreds of runners gathered Saturday morning for bonding, exercise, and breakfast for the first-ever Miles, Pancakes, and Purpose event, raising over $1,000 for a good cause.
“I got 10 miles,” runner Lauren Ricci said.
This inaugural event emphasized the pancakes.
“Everybody likes pancakes. Runners need carbs,” Jessica Coltz, GCXC Assistant Director of Race Operations, said.
Nearly 400 people registered for Saturday’s event. Organizers estimate the final count is at or more than that number.
It also helps raise money for Cancer Bridges, a group that supports those navigating cancer.
“It is a very challenging experience to be diagnosed, and you need a community, and you need support. That’s what Cancer Bridges provides,” Jennifer Kehm, Program and Development Coordinator at Cancer Bridges, said.
Cancer Bridges is the charity partner for the Sean T. Smith Memorial “Just a Short Run,” which will be held on March 29, 2025.
“It’s so nice for us to be able to come together in the 25th year [and] have this partnership with Cancer Bridges,” Coltz said.
So many different run clubs from the Pittsburgh area came together to spend Saturday morning in the Strip District.
“It was really important to us to expose the Pittsburgh Run Community to the good work that Cancer Bridges is doing,” Coltz said. “And also to expose the Cancer Bridges community to the good work the race has been doing.”
It’s a chance to reach a different audience and inform people about the work Cancer Bridges does to provide support.
“It’s an entire new community for us,” Kehm said.

A Winter Storm Warning goes into effect at 1 p.m. for counties south of Allegheny County, and a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for Allegheny County and others to the north.
National Weather Service issues Winter Storm Warning
Earlier this week, the National Weather Service issued a Winter Storm Warning for parts of the Pittsburgh area along and south of I-70 for today and Sunday due to what they described as “a band of heavier snow.”
As of Friday evening, nearly all of the Pittsburgh area is expected to see between two and four inches of snow.
In Pittsburgh, the estimate is 3-5 inches and 5-10 for the ridges.
Snow will be coupled with frigid temperatures
As the snow tapers off around midnight Sunday morning, it will remain scattered, but cold air will follow, leaving the low temperatures in the single digits, and the wind chill below zero as gusts could reach up to 15-20mph.
Road crews prepare for winter storm
Crews across western Pennsylvania say that they’re prepared for the impending snowfall.
In Allegheny County, there are two dozen trucks and more than 9,000 tons of salt at the ready.
Even with the preparations, they’re asking those who don’t need to go out to stay off the roads in order to give them the space to clear them.
A hunter in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, was charged after nearly shooting a person, according to police.
Karen Gaus, 42, was arrested and charged with recklessly endangering another person and disorderly conduct in connection with the incident, officials said.
The Susquehanna Regional Police Department said in a news release that officers responded to Beattys Tollgate Road in East Donegal Township on Nov. 29 for a hunting complaint. Police said a homeowner was outside their residence when they heard multiple gunshots and a bullet passing by.
Officers began investigating and found Gaus nearby, who admitted that she was hunting and fired two shots at a deer in the direction of the victim’s home, according to the news release.
Gaus, according to court documents, is awaiting her preliminary hearing, which is scheduled for Jan. 12, 2026.
Pennsylvania’s firearms deer season ends on Saturday. It opened on Nov. 29 and included two Sundays: Nov. 30 and Dec. 7. Earlier this summer, Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a bill that reversed what state lawmakers called the “outdated” ban on Sunday hunting.
Before the firearms deer season began, the Game Commission said it expected more than 500,000 hunters would be out and about.
