Patriots 5K
The Patriots 5K is a community event at North Park in Allegheny County on September 26, 2026. It is presented as a 5K run, walk, or ruck that raises awareness for veteran mental health and suicide prevention and provides funding for scholarships for the children of veterans who died by suicide.
The event is organized by Semper Fi Mission, a Pittsburgh veterans nonprofit. Registrations support a scholarship program administered by the organizing nonprofit, and each participant entry includes an event shirt. Sponsors of various levels are acknowledged at the event and on event materials.
The event materials describe three main goals: to honor the person for whom the event is held, to fund scholarships for affected children, and to build community support for veterans. The format allows participation as running, walking, or rucking. Funds raised are directed to scholarships and are managed by the organizing nonprofit.
Information distributed about the event also notes available sponsorship tiers and that sponsors are recognized on signage and event apparel. A veterans crisis line is provided in event materials for those in immediate need of support. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
