The 9/11 run is to honor those who lost their lives in the September 11th, 2001 terror attacks, as well as our Local First Responders and Veterans. Proceeds will go to the September 11thFamilies' Association Fund in New York, NY, http://911families.org/ as well as the Grand Traverse Area First Responder Coalition, a non-profit set up to help our local first responders (police, fire, EMS, Emergency Management, 911 Dispatchers.) This fund allows for education opportunities, scholarships, recognition, emergency financial support, etc., for those who risk their lives for us every single day.

The race will start at 8:46 am, the same time the World Trade Center’s Northern Tower was hit. We will gather before the race for a brief ceremony to remember and honor those who lost their lives that day, and show support to our Local First Responders who risk their lives every day to keep us safe- and then show our spirit with an amazing run through our beautiful downtown!

You will continue West on 6th Street and make your way to Maple and Front at Fire Station #1 where you will be offered a cold drink from the team at Michigan Blood. From there, you will continue back to Cass Rd, where you'll make a left, go under Grandview Parkway, and continue East on the Lakefront Path, making your way back to F&M Park for music, refreshments, and prizes.
