Embark on a powerful and inspiring 4.2-mile journey at the Tillman Honor Run in the scenic Seattle-Tacoma area on Saturday, April 11, 2026. This impactful event, kicking off at 9:42 a.m. Pacific from Dune Peninsula Park in Tacoma, offers runners and walkers a chance to honor the extraordinary legacy of Pat Tillman. The distinctive 4.2-mile distance is a direct tribute to the number 42 jersey Tillman proudly wore as an Arizona State Sun Devil, before courageously leaving his NFL career to serve as an Army Ranger after 9/11.

More than just a run, this family-friendly event fosters a powerful community atmosphere, drawing participants from all walks of life, including some who run in full service uniforms as a profound display of respect. While enjoying the picturesque surroundings of Dune Peninsula Park, participants are directly contributing to the Pat Tillman Foundation's Tillman Scholars program. This vital initiative provides educational scholarships and leadership development to active-duty service members, veterans, and military spouses who embody Tillman's values of service and leadership.

As you complete the 4.2 miles, you'll receive a commemorative medal and a race shirt, serving as a tangible reminder of your participation and support. Typical race day conditions in April offer pleasant highs around 58F and lows around 42F, with only a 14% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal setting for this inspiring tribute. Join the Seattle-Tacoma community in celebrating Pat Tillman's enduring spirit and empowering the next generation of leaders through the Tillman Honor Run.
