All race items are being fulfilled by a local small business in Tempe, Arizona. This cost per registration is to help pay for the costs of packing and shipping each item.

• How do I register multiple people and make one payment?

Follow the steps to register and at the end of your registration you will have the option to “Add new entry.”  You are able to do this same step for the Kids Run and participants under 12 years old. The waiver form for each participant is the responsibility of that participant and that of parent or guardian of any minor-aged participants.

 

CHILDREN'S PARTICIPATION FAQs:

• Can kids register for the 4.2 mile walk/run event?

Yes, children 12 years and under may register for the Kids Run, the 4.2-mile run, or both! Those registered for the Kid’s Run will receive a finisher medal specific to that race and the Pat’s Run “Kids Run” special finisher prize.   

Children under 12 who register for the 4.2 mile run will receive a Pat's Run adult shirt and the 4.2 run finisher medal. We do not offer kids-sized shirts for the 4.2 mile run. 

• If my kid is registered for the Kids Run, do they receive a finisher medal?

YES!  Those registered for the Kid's Run will receive a special finishers medal which will be different from the Pat's Run 4.2 finisher medal.  

• What’s your cancellation policy? 

If the in-person portion of Pat’s Run 2025 is canceled for any reason, and we pivot to a virtual Pat’s Run 2025, registered participants will still receive their medal and shirt. If you are unable to run remotely with us, we will create an option for you to donate your registration.
