Great HVAC work takes the same thing a great race does. Showing up, putting in the miles and refusing to quit until the job is done right. On June 27, 2026, Shafer’s Heating & Air Conditioning hit the pavement at the Be the Change 4.12 Miler, held at the North Park Boathouse in Allison Park. We work across Allegheny County and love being part of events right in the areas we serve.
Presented by Operation Impact, this race had something for everyone. A timed 4.12 mile run, a family-friendly untimed 1 mile fun run/walk and even virtual options for anyone running from their hometown. Runners enjoyed a scenic loop through North Park, then came together for a post-race celebration with the community.
A Team Effort Worth Cheering For
Big shoutout to Shafer’s own Chelsea Febinger, who laced up and crushed the full 4.12 miles. Chelsea’s participation is a perfect example of the hands on, get in the mix approach our team brings to everything we do, whether that’s tackling a complex HVAC repair or showing up for a good cause.
Running Toward a Bigger Purpose
Every dollar raised at the Be the Change 4.12 Miler fuels educational programming through Operation Impact’s partnership with the Urban Impact Foundation, an organization dedicated to empowering youth on Pittsburgh’s North Side. That mission hits home for us, investing in the next generation and building something that lasts.
This race is just one way Shafer’s shows up for the community and we look forward to the next great cause we can support!
