Race to Remember 9/11 Memorial Run – 25 Years Later

September 1 – December 31, 2026

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, America was forever changed.

The terrorist attacks of 9/11 claimed the lives of 2,977 innocent people and injured thousands more at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and aboard Flight 93 in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. In the midst of tragedy, countless heroes emerged—first responders, military personnel, and ordinary citizens who risked everything to save others.

As we mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11, we invite you to join our Race to Remember 9/11 Memorial Run and help honor the lives lost, the heroes who sacrificed so much, and the resilience of a nation that came together in the face of unimaginable adversity.

Complete your race anytime between September 1 and December 31, 2026, wherever you choose and at your own pace.
