"BE INSPIRED | GIVE BACK | RUN WALK HONOR
Pat's Run is the signature fundraising event for the Pat Tillman Foundation. Held annually in April at Arizona State University's Sun Devil Stadium, the event attracts over 30,000 participants, volunteers and spectators from across the country. Together, they Run, Walk and Honor Pat's legacy while raising important funds to support the programs created to pay tribute to his commitment to leadership and service.
The 4.2 mile course winds through the streets of Tempe and is staged so that all participants finish on the 42-yard line on Frank Kush Field inside Sun Devil Stadium, symbolic of the #42 jersey that Pat wore while he was a Sun Devil.
Proceeds from Pat's Run directly support the Tillman Military Scholars program."
