ROSWELL, Ga. — The City of Roswell will host the Tillman Honor Run, a nationwide event that honors the legacy and impact of Army Ranger Pat Tillman on April 13.
The run is the only one in Georgia.
Tillman, an Arizona State University graduate, joined the NFL’s Arizona Cardinals in 1998 and was a successful player until he put his football career on hold after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Tillman joined the U.S. Army in July 2002 and was killed in April 2004 by friendly fire.
Tillman Honor Runs are hosted by Arizona State University Alumni chapters and clubs across the country in support of the Pat Tillman Foundation, which was started by friends and family after Tillman’s death.
The cost to register online is $42, and the all-ages, 4.2-mile running and walking route will kick off at Riverside Park at 8 a.m. The No. 42 represents Tillman’s jersey number as an Arizona State University Sun Devil football player.
All participants will receive a T-shirt and a race medal. Registration funds go to the foundation’s Tillman Scholars program, which provides education opportunities to active-duty service members, veterans and military spouses.
Participants can register at runsignup.com/Race/AZ/Tempe/PatsRunHonorRuns.
