1 MIle Non-timed Walk has been added for those who don't wish to do stairs but still want to participate to honor our 9/11 Heroes. Cost $20. Includes Finisher Medal. Shirts extra $16 thru 9/1. Event day: $30.
Before the event, all participants will be given the name of a Firefighter or Police Officer who died on 9/11 & for whom they will be climbing. This will allow you to look up your hero & even bring their picture with you. (List will be updated before event).
Event supports: raising money for local Police & Fire and Frist Responders to provide them with necessary equipment that the City may not budget for but will help them in doing their job - keeping it safe for them while they protect our community!
Who is YOUR First Responder? The list at the TOP matches participants with the name of the 9/11 Hero for whom they will be climbing. Please research your Hero & print a photo of them to include in our on-site memorial.
