This is a memorial 5K that honors fallen firefighter Stephen Siller, who ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers on 9/11. The race begins with a "Never Forget" ceremony before the 8:30 AM start, bringing together runners, walkers, and first responders to remember those lost on September 11th and support current military and first responders through the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Registration includes different categories for adults, first responders/military (with discounted pricing), youth, and children, and the event has a strong fundraising component with teams competing to raise money for the foundation's programs that support injured veterans and families of fallen heroes.
