About the T2T Run & Walk
Tunnel to Towers 5K runners honor the fallen | Good Day Weekend
Next week will mark 24 years since the 9/11 terror attacks. Later this month, hundreds of runners will honor the fallen in New York City's Tunnel to Towers 5K.
The backstory:
Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk was first started to honor FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, who was killed responding to the 9/11 attacks.
The route re-traces his final footsteps through the Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel to the site of the former World Trade Center complex with 60 pounds of gear.
Frank Siller started the Tunnel to Towers Foundation in honor of his brother Steven’s life and the lives of the 343 FDNY firefighters, law enforcement officers and thousands of civilians killed on September 11, 2001.
More than 30,000 participants — from runners, walkers, volunteers and spectators — flocked to Lower Manhattan this year to support the cause and raise money for the foundation’s programs, including those benefitting first responders, and catastrophically injured service members.
This year, Barstool Sports founder and Fox Sports contributor Dave Portnoy named the honorary starter. The event culminated with a festival, featuring a performance from multi-platinum country super star Chris Janson.
