Honoring Legacy in Every Stride
Tempe, AZ | April 12, 2025
As we begin to turn the page on the recognition of 20 year’s since Pat lived, we are paying tribute to the impacts of Pat’s legacy in different chapters of his life. As a standout for the Arizona Sun Devils and as the 226th pick in the NFL Draft to the Arizona Cardinals turned All-Pro, Pat’s grit and passion catapulted him to new heights. At the peak of his NFL career, he made the selfless decision to leave that all behind and enlist into the Army Rangers, answering the calling for something bigger than himself.
His legacy continues to be carried forward by the nearly 1,000 Tillman Scholars that carry his torch of Scholarship, Humble Leadership, Service, and Impact. Participation in the 21st Annual Pat’s Run directly supports this living legacy, ushering in the next generation of leaders rooted in the values Pat exemplified in these eras. Join the nearly 30,000 runners and walkers and be apart of shaping the next era of the Pat Tillman legacy.
EXCLUSIVE 2025 PAT’S RUN GEAR
Your registration for the 21st Annual Pat’s Run comes with the official 2025 Race Tech Tee and Medal, completing our 3-part medal series!
Registrants also have the exclusive opportunity to purchase the return of our highly-sought after Pat’s Run Hoodie as well as the 2025 Iconic Tee, featuring imagery from the iconic eras of Pat’s life; an homage to Legacy in Every Stride.
Meet the Pat’s Run Co-Founders
20 years ago, after the tragic passing of Pat Tillman, a group of his family and friends came together to honor his legacy. Since 2004, Pat’s Run has grown to hosting nearly 30,000 athletes of all kinds each year. Hear their stories on what makes this day so powerful each year honoring Pat’s legacy and supporting his living legacy, our nearly 1,000 remarkable Tillman Scholars.

Please note: each individual registration will require a bib mailer; therefore, if you register three individuals in one transaction, you will need to select the mailer option for each.
Transportation
Limited free parking is available in the parking garages and lots surrounding ASU. Due to race day traffic congestion, participants are strongly encouraged to carpool, walk, bike or ride the Valley METRO Light Rail to arrive at the event site.
Packet Pickup
The packet pick-up tent will be located at the bottom of the northeast staircase of the Sun Devil Stadium. Parking will be available to the west of the tent. Below are the in-person pick-up days and times:
| Team Packet Pickup | |
| Date and time will be emailed to you! | |
| Individual / Family Packet Pickup | |

| April 10 | 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. |

Reporting Race Times
After your virtual run, visit the Pat’s Run Results page, and click the + sign on the search bar to find your registration with your name, birthday, or email address. On your profile, you’ll see a link that says “Virtual 4.2 Mile Run/Walk – Submit Virtual Results.” Click it, enter your time, and you’re all set!
Bib Numbers and Etiquette
To help the process move quickly, our volunteers ask that you have your bib number handy upon pickup. To find your bib number, simply log onto your RunSignUp.com profile where you registered and click “Manage Profile.” Your bib number will appear in your participant info. You CAN also pick up another participant’s packet; please be ready to provide their bib number as well.
Bib numbers correspond to corral numbers and will be assigned baed on estimated time or past finish times. Wheelchair participants will begin at the start of the first corral; those running or walking with strollers will be assigned placement at the back of the race.
Corral numbers correspond to their bib numbers. Corrals are one number higher than the thousands place in your bib number. If your bib number is 621, then you’ll be in corral 1. If your bib number is 6021, then you’ll be in corral 7. You can also get help at Packet Pickup and we’ll have the bib ranges posted alongside the corral numbers on race day.

Join Team Tillman for Pat’s Run 2025!
Go the Distance for a Team with Purpose
Team Tillman is our community of everyday athletes who bring their passion for endurance events, like Pats’ Run, marathons and half-marathons, triathlons, or biking, together with their passion for making a positive impact in the world. Members of Team Tillman who meet fundraising minimums earn exclusive benefits and limited-edition merchandise from the Pat Tillman Foundation, as well as a community of supporters to cheer them on as they strive to challenge themselves.
Pat spent his life pushing the limits. His achievements on the football field are well known, but his commitment to challenging himself extended beyond football in his off-season, running marathons, doing half-marathon triathlons and cliff diving. We created Team Tillman as another way for those who love to push their limits to honor Pat’s legacy and support the Tillman Scholars who carry on his values today.
Setting up a fundraising page is easy and we welcome the generosity of fundraisers of all levels who are passionate about honoring Pat Tillman’s legacy!

We will be sharing exciting gift matches, giving challenges, and resources in the new year to help you reach your fundraising goals! The top fundraiser will receive a limited-edition Salute to Service Pat Tillman Football Jersey.
