The Patriots Run is an annual event held to commemorate the tragic events of September 11th 2001. With this event we remember, not only those victims who were lost, but also those soldiers, police, firefighters and others who served this country both on that day and every day thereafter. In this way we honor all the people who work to insure that this tragedy never repeats itself. In our logo the 2 blue stripes on the left represent the Twin Towers. The 5 red stripes stand for the armed forces, police, fire fighters, emergency personnel and their families.
This is a unique event designed by the committee, running community, sponsors and others. It is a 9 hour and 11 minute run/walk that begins at noon. Participants can be either solo or teams. You can join us at noon and stay the entire time or join us at any time during the event. You can run as much as you wish. Some people join us at the start, leave for a while and come back later. The flexibility is there to let you design your own event--anything from a lap or 2 to an ultra run. You can also opt for the certified marathon.
Lawn chairs are welcome! Bring your family and friends and have them cheer you on. This is one of the few duration events where you can watch the entire run. Every year our runners tell how much they love our spectators.
Started in 2003, the event continues to grow. Runners and walkers of all ages and skill levels come out and run everything from one lap to an ultra run (the event record is 61 miles, set in 2008 by Gregg Buehler). Solo runners and teams continue to raise thousands of dollars for charity.
