The September 11th National Memorial Trail is thrilled to host the fourth annual Tour de Trail: Pentagon on Sunday, September 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Participants can choose between a three-and-a-half-mile walk or a 25-mile cycling route, both beginning in Arlington, VA, and featuring a loop to the grounds of the Pentagon Memorial.
Free parking and Metro access are both available. Please note: To encourage education of the younger generation about the history of 9/11, children under 12 can participate free of charge. To receive the 100% discount on the event cost for children, please reach out to the organization via email.
Can't do the walk this year? Sign up for the virtual event or consider donating to support the September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance.
The September 11th National Memorial Trail is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All proceeds from the ride will support the Alliance’s efforts to create and maintain the September 11th National Memorial Trail, a 1,500+mile, multi-use trail connecting the three locations impacted by the events of 9/11. The Trail honors those lost, the heroes, and first responders of September 11 while fostering remembrance, reflection, and economic development through heritage tourism in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
