The CMU School of Computer Science Pretty Good Race

Our version of the Pittsburgh Great Race, the "Pretty Good Race," is held every September in Schenley Park. Bets between students and their advisors are traditional. Phil Miller wrote an article about the history of the Pretty Good Race for the CMU CS 25th anniversary.
