The City of Pleasanton is inviting runners, walkers and community members to Pleasanton River Park on Saturday, Sept. 12, for the sixth annual Patriot Day 5K and 1 Mile Walk.

Co-hosted by the city and the local JROTC, the annual event honors first responders and remembers those who died in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

Proceeds directly benefit local JROTC programs.
