Pat's Run Challenge Series 10K Challenge

What is the Pat’s Run Challenge Series 10k? 

• The Pat’s Run Challenge Series 10k supports our Tillman Scholars program. Participants are challenged to complete a virtual 10k run anytime between the dates of August 13 - 21. The official challenge will take place August 14 but to be flexible the window will be extended through August 21. 

When does the challenge begin and end? 

• The official challenge will take place August 14, but to be flexible the window will be extended through August 21. 

What Is the Pat's Run Challenge Series? 

• New for 2021! Pat's Run has expanded to include a three-race challenge series: Pat's Run, a virtual Pat's Run Challenge Series 10K presented by Directors Mortgage on August 14 and a virtual Pat's Run 42 in 40 Challenge, in which participants commit to running, walking or hiking 42 miles in 40 days between Oct. 3 and Veterans Day. Participants will get a t-shirt and medal for each event in the challenge and those who complete all three get a special giveaway after finishing all three. 

How do I submit my results? 

• You can manually submit your results by going HERE or you can download the RaceJoy app and have it automatically track and submit your results once you complete your 10k? 

Can I run a portion of the 10k and then complete it on another day? 

• No, this is not a cumulative challenge. The 10k is designed to be run in one attempt. If you need to redo your run that is allowed but it will erase your previous results. 

Is the Pat’s Run Challenge Series 10k going to replace Pat’s Run that takes place in April? 

• No. The Pat’s Run Challenge Series 10k is a new, additional virtual event. Pat’s Run will still take place in April, as it has for the past 17 years.

Can children participate in the Pat’s Run Challenge Series 10k?
