Pat never stopped pushing the limits as an athlete.
Told he was too small to ever play football, he defied skeptics, first as an All-American ASU Sun Devil and then, as a record-breaking safety for the Arizona Cardinals. Even in the off-season, he never quit challenging himself at marathons and half-Ironman triathlons nationwide.
Today, Team Tillman is keeping Pat’s passion and intensity alive while inspiring others to live up to their potential. A community of everyday athletes, civilian and military, we participate as a team or individually in marathons, half-marathons, triathlons, cycling and other athletic events to honor Pat. To date, we have raised nearly $1 million to fund scholarships for Tillman Scholars, who share Pat’s commitment to service, learning and action.
If you’re looking for a challenge as a seasoned athlete, weekend warrior or new runner, take a moment to explore some of our Team Tillman events. Each race is guaranteed to both motivate and inspire you—and your commitment will help us keep Pat’s legacy alive for years to come.

The Pat Tillman Foundation is well known for the passion demonstrated by the supporters who rally behind its mission. Embodying that spirit to the upmost degree is Dan Mucciolo, who will serve as the 2018 team captain of Team Tillman: Chicago.
A longtime supporter of the Foundation and the work of its Tillman Scholars, Dan has been one of the most active participants of the community as a member of Team Tillman. After running his first marathon in Phoenix in 2015, he accepted the challenge of running on behalf of the Foundation in the 2016 and 2017 TCS New York City Marathons where he crossed the finish line in 3:42.50 and 3:38.20, respectively. With a total of seven marathon finishes on his resume and as a past participant in Pat’s Run Tempe, Dan has his sights set on the Windy City and will compete in the 2018 Bank of America Chicago Marathon on Oct. 7, 2018.
A native of the NYC metro area, Dan and his wife and two children moved from Scottsdale, Arizona, to Downers Grove, Illinois, last summer. He currently leads a sales and marketing division at one of the country’s leading wine and spirit distributors, Breakthru Beverage. To date, Dan has raised more than $10,000 for the Tillman Scholars program through his involvement in Team Tillman and continues to advocate for those who serve our nation in the armed forces.
