Course and race notes
What is the definition of a Patriot?
According to Webster it is one who loves and supports his or her country. But we would like to add a little more to that definition. A Patriot is also someone who loves and supports his friends and family. That is who Chris Pepe was and what he will always be remembered as.
In the organizer's words, from the race's own listing.
