Pat's Run in Tempe set for April 19

A reminder to register now for Pat's Run in Tempe (April 19) and San Jose (May 3).

Last year almost 15,000 runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators in Tempe and more than 5,000 runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators in San Jose participated in Pat's Run, celebrating the life of American hero Pat Tillman. The 4.2 mile run/walk broke the attendance records, topping the total 14,000 participants in 2007.

The events also featured a .42 mile Kids Run, which had 1,000 participants in Tempe and 500 in San Jose.
