About the Event

Born from the tragedy of 9/11, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation carries forward a legacy of courage and heroism. The event honors the heroic life and death of Stephen Siller, a New York City firefighter who lost his life on September 11, 2001. This 5K (3.1 miles) can be walked or run. The event is intended to be an experience and much more than a run, with a focus on honoring first responders and remembering 9/11.
