Popular actor among the many runners/walkers slated to participate in annual event
GREEN BAY — Popular television actor and Bellin Health spokesperson, Patrick Fabian, will don his running shoes for this year’s Bellin Run on Saturday, June 14. This is the second year the television and film personality will participate in the event.
“We are very excited to have Patrick come back this year to once again take part in the Bellin Run,” said Randy Van Straten, Bellin Run race director. “He is a big part of the Bellin family, so it’s great to have him as a participant of the 10K.”
Fabian’s television credits include guest appearances on hit shows such as Bones, Ugly Betty, CSI: Miami, 24, Close to Home, Will and Grace and Friends. His voiceover work includes advertisements for ING Direct and Hyundai. However, it’s been his signature way of saying: “Welcome, to Bellin Health” for the last four years that most people in Northeast Wisconsin recognize.
Fabian will arrive early to join the festivities leading up to the morning of the run. He will line up with the thousands of runners and walkers at the starting line on Saturday morning.
“The Bellin Run was such a fun experience last year that I wouldn’t miss it,” Fabian said. “I had a good run and met some great people over the course of the weekend. I’m looking forward to doing the same this year.”
The Bellin Run starts at 8 a.m. on Saturday, June 14. For more information, visit www.bellinrun.com.
