Chicago, IL (April 2, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The Pat Tillman Foundation is proud to announce Brooks Running as the official footwear sponsor of the 21st Annual Pat’s Run, taking place on April 12, 2025, in Tempe, Arizona, and virtually across the country.

Pat’s Run honors the legacy of Pat Tillman, a remarkable individual who embodied the values of scholarship, service, humble leadership, and impact. Pat’s selfless decision to put his NFL career on hold to serve in the US Army and, ultimately, his sacrifice inspired countless individuals to make a positive impact in their communities. The event honors Pat’s enduring spirit and commitment to serving others by drawing nearly 30,000 people annually.

”We’re excited to partner with Brooks Running, a brand that builds strong communities through running,” said Dr. Katherine Steele, CEO of the Pat Tillman Foundation and 2014 Tillman Scholar. “Together, we’ll work to honor Pat’s legacy and support the nearly 30,000 people who come together to run or walk Pat’s Run.”

As part of its support, Brooks Running serves as the official footwear sponsor, and Brooks gear will be available at the Pat’s Run Expo, the merchandise store, and the Tillman Tailgate post-run festival. Additionally, Brooks Running will help amplify the Pat Tillman Foundation’s message and impact through its marketing channels.

“We’re proud to join the Pat’s Run community and support an event that brings together thousands of people to honor Pat’s legacy,” said Ed Riegert, Director of North America Retail and Events Marketing at Brooks. “Running has a unique ability to unite and inspire, and this partnership exemplifies the power of community and the impact one person can have.”
