PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL RACE COMPLEX IS GREEN
Wampum, PA (June 5, 2020) – Pittsburgh International Race Complex has been given the “Green.” Governor Tom Wolf announced June 5th that, beginning June 12th, businesses residing in Beaver County are permitted to enter the green phase of his state resumption plan. More information about the PA mitigation plan and what the different phases mean can be found here
For Pitt Race, this does not mean business as normal. However, it does mean we get to bring back our wonderful employees, service our customers, and host national motorsports events once again. We will have to adapt our processes, policies, and procedures to continue to provide a safe and fun experience for all who visit our facility in this phase of COVID-19 mitigation.
We will still be required to practice social distancing and wear masks. Helmets and balaclavas are acceptable forms of mouth and nose coverings. Our crew is trained on proper disinfecting and sanitizing procedures.
Unfortunately, we are still not permitted to host large spectator events. More specifically, we are not allowed to have groups of over 250 people. To manage this requirement, all guests must register and sign a digital waiver before arriving at the facility. This link will only be delivered to those who have registered for an event.
We ask that our renters, participants, and fans be patient as we navigate this new system.
Kart Rentals will resume on June 12th. For more information about Karting, click here. To book your single or multiple sessions or to redeem a coupon code, please call 724-740-1185.
The main office will be staffed Monday through Friday, 8 am-5 pm. If you have any additional questions please give us a call.
We will see you on track soon,

PITTSBURGH INTERNATIONAL RACE COMPLEX RESPONSE TO STATEWIDE MITIGATION
WAMPUM, Pa. (May 15, 2020) Starting May 22 Beaver County will transition from the red to the yellow phase of Governor Tom Wolf’s business resumption plan. Please continue to watch the Pitt Race Calendars for the most up to date information.
We will continue to list events as far into the future as possible in hope of holding as many programs as we can. Below is the proposed social distancing and mitigation efforts Pitt Race plans to have in place. Refund policies vary by program and should be considered prior to registering.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued guidance on visiting recreational facilities. These guidelines must be followed statewide by businesses and when engaging in an outdoor activity while the state disaster declaration remains in effect. The guidelines will ensure the safety of individuals and families engaging in outdoor activities and adherence will help slow the spread of COVID-19.
Stay close to home: Pennsylvanians are encouraged to enjoy permitted outdoor recreational activities within their community and avoid crowding popular destinations.
Practice social distancing: Maintain the recommended minimum of 6 feet apart from fellow recreationists. Pennsylvanians are also encouraged to wear a mask or protective garment that covers the nose and mouth any time they go outside.
Minimize risk to others: Individuals should only go out if they feel healthy and have not been exposed to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19.
Practice good hygiene: Wash hands often with soap and warm water for 20 seconds. If soap and water are not available, use a hand sanitizer containing at least 60 percent alcohol. Avoid surfaces that are touched often, such as doorknobs and handrails.
Have a plan: Create a safety plan before heading outdoors. Explain to children the need to keep their distance from others, even if they happen to see a friend while outside. Discuss with partners, social distancing. Think through how to avoid other runners when waiting to safely cross a street at the same time.
