Pat’s Run, the signature fundraising event of the Pat Tillman Foundation, returns for its 21st year on April 12. And ahead of its return to Tempe, the race’s medical director has shared behind-the-scenes details and advice for participants.
Dr. Amy Overlin, a Banner Health primary care sports medicine physician, got involved with Pat’s Run during her sports medicine fellowship at Arizona State University, which she embarked on in 2005.
Overlin said she began working the race in its second year thanks to her fellowship director, Dr. Steven Erickson, who was the medical director for Pat’s Run at the time. She’s now worked the race for over 10 years.
