Hundreds of runners turned out at Wildwood State Park in Wading River for the 2022 Patriot Run in memory of Thomas Cutinella.

Proceeds from the event go to the Thomas Cutinella Memorial Foundation. The annual event is also sponsored by the Wildcat Athletic Club.

Shoreham’s Carter Rubin performed the national anthem before the runners began the 2.54-mile course on a beautiful fall morning.
