Suffolk County Executive Steve Ballone, the Suffolk County Legislature, Catholic Health Services, the Village of Patchogue and the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce are hosting the 2017 Marathon and Half Marathon to Support Our Veterans this Oct 29th, 2017. With 1.5 million people and 90,000 veterans residing in Suffolk County we are proud to host this event and hope you can join us in honoring our local heroes. Last year the event drew more than 5,000 people including 2,600 runners from 28 states and four countries. This year’s event begins and ends in the Village of Patchogue and will be followed by the Taste of Long Island Festival with all net registration proceeds going to support veterans services.
