Patriots Run

The traditional Patriots’ Run is a family-friendly race with community party atmosphere. The day begins at noon and we race for nine hours, eleven minutes to honor first responders and those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001. Individuals or teams can choose to run for nine hours, eleven minutes, or for any portion of the day. The individual and team with the most laps at the end of the day, wins the race. You can also participate in the marathon, half marathon, 5K or Ultra Divisions.

Teams and families are welcome to set up a tent in the designated area. Lawn chairs are encouraged! Spectators can bring family and friends, cheer for their favorite runner and listen to the music (there is ALWAYS music at the Patriots’ Run). This is one of the few such events where spectators can watch the entire run.

Team categories include military, law enforcement, fire fighters, EMTs, race walkers and open division. You can have up to 10 per team. The chip is relayed runner to runner and we total the laps. If another runner is out with the chipped runner, only the chipped runner is counted.
