Honor The Fallen During 9/11 Heroes Run​ In Annapolis Sept. 22

ANNAPOLIS, MD — To honor those who have served their country and the fallen from the 9/11 terrorist attack, the 9/11 Heroes Run invites everyone to walk, run and ruck in this special event scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 22, at 1 p.m. starting at the Navy Marine Corps Memorial Stadium.

Started in 2007 by the family of fallen 1st Lt. Travis Manion as a grassroots run in his hometown of Doylestown, Penn., with 300 runners, the 9/11 Heroes Run now has more than 70 race locations around the world, a presence in 38 different states across the country and unites more than 60,000 people yearly to celebrate American heroes and spread awareness.

Race proceeds are used to directly support the Travis Manion Foundation. In select locations, a portion of race proceeds are granted back to a local nonprofit partner whose mission also is to empower heroes.

The Travis Manion Foundation is again partnering with GORUCK this year to have rucking divisions to every 9/11 Heroes Run. Rucking is a sport grounded in special forces training in which participants carry weighted rucksacks. All participants registered for the GORUCK division will earn an exclusive Travis Manion Foundation GORUCK patch.
