Join Team Tillman.
Be a part of a team with a purpose.
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. Register now to join Team Tillman and participate in one of our events.

Eric Byrnes, TEAM TILLMAN ATHLETE
A native of Mount View, California, Eric Byrnes is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who had a distinguished playing career for the Oakland Athletics, the Colorado Rockies, the Baltimore Orioles, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Seattle Mariners. Now retired, he is an analyst for MLB Network, an Ironman Tri-athlete and one of the original co-founders of Team Tillman.
After Pat’s death in 2004, Eric — who had played football for an opposing team in high school and later befriended Pat during their playing days in Arizona — made sure he spoke about Pat and the sacrifice he made every opportunity he had. When he met the Tillman family in 2006, he vowed to help them keep Pat’s name and legacy alive.
“From that day on, I knew I wanted to focus my individual fundraising efforts throughout the course of my entire life on the Pat Tillman Foundation. Without getting all nostalgic, between my connection to Pat through Bay Area high school sports, our mutual friend Zack Walz, and playing baseball professionally in a city in which he became an icon, I felt as if it was something in my life that I was meant to do, my small way to finally do more than talk. The foundation was founded on the basic principles that encompassed everything Pat Tillman represented. Education, leadership and loyalty.”
