Pat’s Run

The 14th annual Pat’s Run at Sun Devil Stadium will be held on Saturday, April 21st 2018. You can register for Pat’s Run via their web site.

As you probably know, Pat Tillman is one of the most incredible people and athletes to wear Maroon and Gold. Tens of thousands of people proudly participate in Pat’s Run to honor this fallen soldier. Pat Tillman was tragically killed in Afghanistan on April 22, 2004, and he defines a true American hero.

If you are new to Pat’s Run, we want to help guide you to Sun Devil Stadium so that you can easily participate.  If you want to take the METRO light rail line to Pat’s Run, there are two stations close to the starting line. The stations are probably 3/4 of a mile ( APPROXIMATELY ) from the stating line. Depending on where you park, the walk isn’t much different. The METRO park and ride lots are free, an all day light rail pass is just $4.00. Don’t forget to purchase your pass! Riding the light rail to Pat’s Run should be way easier than driving your car. The traffic WILL be nuts!

The map below shows the approximate route for Pat’s Run and it shows where the two closest light rail stations are located. (You can also print a copy of the route.) At the bottom of this page, you will see a map of the light rail line and the park and ride locations.
