Event Description

Join us for the 3rd Annual Petty Officer Jeet Patel Memorial 5K Race, a special event in memory of Petty Officer Jeet Patel, USNSCC. This race celebrates the life and service of a man who was deeply committed to his community and country. Jeet was actively involved with the Hamden Police Cadets and the Eagle Scouts—organizations he was passionate about and would have loved to support.

All proceeds from the race will benefit these programs plus New Haven Marines & Hamden Police Department, providing vital resources for the next generation of leaders, first responders, and service members. By participating, you are helping to ensure that Jeet's legacy of service and dedication lives on in these incredible programs.

This year, we're proud to offer some of the largest cash prizes in New England, adding even more excitement to an already incredible cause. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just looking to support a meaningful cause, we invite you to join us for this unforgettable day of remembrance, community, and inspiration.

Mark your calendars and lace up your running shoes for the 3rd Annual Petty Officer Jeet Patel Memorial 5K! Let's come together to honor a hero and give back to the programs that meant so much to him.
