PARKING
Limited free parking is available in the parking garages and lots
surrounding ASU. Due to race-day traffic congestion, participants
are strongly encouraged to carpool, walk, bike or ride the light rail
to arrive at the event site. Approaching the race venue from south of
Rio Salado Parkway is advised, to avoid delays. Be aware that Lot 59
on the north side of Rio Salado is no longer available for parking,
due to construction.
ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION
Think green and avoid race day traffic by riding the Valley METRO
Light Rail to Pat’s Run. The light rail has a stop conveniently located at
Veterans Way and College Avenue (approximately 1/2 mile from the race
start line) and various Park & Ride locations, including McClintock Dr/
Apache Blvd and 101 Fwy/Apache Blvd. Trains run every 15 minutes
starting at 5 a.m. Day passes cost $4.00 per person ($2.00 for youth &
seniors) and are available at all stations and online at www.valleymetro.org.
Many participants choose to ride bikes from home or park and pedal from
Tempe Marketplace as a pre-race warmup. You may secure your bike on
the bike racks available near the start line.

REUNION SQUARE – FIND FAMILY

Make arrangements to reunite with family and

south of the Finish Line Expo and Kids Corner,
west of Packard Drive. Plan to meet under the
letter of the alphabet that corresponds to your
last name, team name, company name, etc.
For the comfort and safety of all race
participants, please do not select the finish line
as a post-race meeting spot for your group.
IT IS THE RUN
Please take a moment to review the following
Final Instructions carefully as they contain
important details for all participants.
START LINE CORRALS AND WAVE START
In order to accommodate a record number of participants and provide an
enjoyable race experience for all, each runner/walker will be assigned
to a start line corral based on the expected finish time provided during
the registration process. Your start line corral number will be printed on
your race number. You are only permitted to enter your assigned corral
or any corral behind your assigned corral. If you wish to run/walk with
family and friends, all members of your group must start in the highest
numbered corral assigned to any particular member.
To alleviate congestion on the race course and at the finish line, each
start line corral will be released in a rolling wave starting at approximately
30-second intervals. Please be patient and remember that your timing tag
(activated as you cross the start line mats) will ensure that your official
race time is not affected by your corral assignment. Race participants will
be invited to enter their assigned corrals at 6:30 a.m.
CHRONOTRACK TIMING
When you pick up your race number, a state-of-the-art ChronoTrack
bib-tag (B-Tag) labeled with that race number will be attached (please
visit the Solutions table if the numbers do not match). This year’s B-Tag
should remain attached to the bib (do not remove as in years past –
you can simply walk away without having your tag collected) and
pinned to the front of the runner’s outfit. Please follow the instructions
provided in your registration packet. PLEASE NOTE: All participants
must wear the ChronoTrack timing B-Tag on your race shirt or
shorts for your time to be recorded. Race results will be posted at
www.patsrun.com live on April 25, 2014.
CHRONOTRACK TIMING TAG RULES
• DO NOT forget your tag on race day – NO TAG, NO TIME.
• DO NOT exchange your tag with any other participant.
• DO NOT remove your B-Tag from your race bib.
• You MUST cross the start line during the official start, before the
timing mats have been removed, to receive an official time.
• Personal timing chips will NOT work with the ChronoTrack timing system.

of all clothing during the entire race.

in waves beginning with the oldest kids. Please note, Kids Run
participants may move backward in age-group corrals to accompany
younger siblings, but younger participants may not move up into older
age-group corrals. Registered Kids Run participants will receive a race

This may be a word like “passion” or “guts”… Or It
could be the name of a loved one, service member or
Tillman Scholar who inspires you. Write on your bib
that one thing that will push you forward for 4.2 miles.
• Upload a photo of you and your race bib to Twitter
or Instagram with #NeverStop and #PatsRun

RUNNER REFRESHMENT ZONE / FINISH LINE
Both the 4.2 mile and 0.42 mile events finish on the 42-yard line of Frank Kush Field inside
Sun Devil Stadium. Upon crossing the finish line, participants are urged to quickly exit the field
and proceed to one of two Runner Refreshment Zones where they will receive fruit, snacks
and beverages provided by Sam’s Club and Powerade. Please help our Race Crew see to the
safety of several thousand finishers by keeping the finish line area clear of congestion. Note:

start in a corral marked “Running Strollers”
directly behind the last runner’s corral,

Only individual runners with jogging strollers
may enter this corral; no family members or
running buddies. All walkers, slow joggers
with strollers, or baby joggers, regardless of
estimated finish time, will be required to start
in the final corral, number 28.
