From the Organizer
Join us Thursday, September 10th for the 8th Annual 9/11 Run to Remember hosted by Philadelphia FBIRA. Help us pay tribute to the victims, heroes, and survivors of the September 11th attacks that occurred 25 years ago. The event is 100% free to all participants and will have four categories of participation: competitive (wave 1), non-competitive (wave 2), walking (wave 3), and volunteer. Whether you register for the competitive tier looking to push your personal pace, non-competitive tier wanting a more relaxed experience, walking, or volunteering to support those on the course, we hope this event reminds you of the ultimate sacrifices our first responders, law enforcement, military, and local heroes paid.
