🏃♂️ Brian Piccolo Legacy Run at Porter Cullins A neighborhood tribute run from Porter Cullins to St. Mary Catholic Cemetery and back
The Brian Piccolo Legacy Run begins at Porter Cullins Irish Pub in the heart of Evergreen Park, sending runners on a meaningful out‑and‑back route through the quiet residential streets that shaped Piccolo’s early life. This 5K is designed as a community tribute — a chance to run in the spirit of courage, grit, and heart, just as Brian lived.
Participants head south from Porter Cullins toward historic St. Mary Catholic Cemetery, the resting place of Brian Piccolo. The turnaround point is a peaceful, reflective moment inside the cemetery gates, where runners can pause briefly to honor his legacy before beginning the return journey.
The run finishes back at Porter Cullins, where the pub’s warm, Irish‑American hospitality welcomes everyone across the line. Whether you’re a lifelong Bears fan, a lover of local history, or simply someone inspired by Piccolo’s story, this event blends neighborhood charm with a powerful sense of purpose.
It’s a simple route with a big heart — a run for courage, for community, and for Brian.
