Runners and walkers will gather at Pleasanton River Park in September for the sixth annual Patriot Day 5K and 1-Mile Walk, a community event honoring the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The evening event is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 12, starting at 6:30 p.m. Organizers designed the annual event as a tribute to those lost on 9/11 and an opportunity to honor local first responders.

Proceeds from the event will benefit local JROTC programs.
