The Patriot 4.2 Miler
About this race
What is the definition of a Patriot?
According to Webster it is one who loves and supports his or her country.
But we would like to add a little more to that definition. A Patriot is also someone who loves and supports his friends and family.
That is who Chris Pepe was and what he will always be remembered as...A Patriot.
Join us for our Annual 4.2 Miler in honor of Captain Christopher S. Pepe US Air Force.
Chris was a huge supporter of Pat's Run in honor of Pat Tillman. Chris and his friends would go out to Arizona every year to run and support the great cause. We thought it was only appropriate to have a 4.2 Mile Run/Walk.
Proceeds will benefit the Friends of Fusion Foundation, which will support organizations that Chris cared deeply about.
