The Patriot 4.2 Miler
The Patriot 4.2 Miler is an annual athletic event held in Newark, Delaware, at Olan Thomas Park. This event serves as a memorial to Captain Christopher S. Pepe of the United States Air Force. The specific distance of the primary race is modeled after the Pat's Run event in Arizona, an initiative that the late Captain supported on an annual basis.
Participants can choose between two main activities:
- 4.2 Miles timed running race
- 1 Mile untimed fun walk
The event course utilizes the area around Paper Mill Road. The registration fee is consistent for both the running race and the walking activity. All proceeds from the event are directed to the Friends of Fusion Foundation. These funds are used to support various organizations and causes that align with the interests of Captain Pepe. The foundation manages the distribution of these resources to benefit the local community and relevant charitable groups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
