Travis Manion Foundation 9/11 Heroes 5K & One Mile Fun Run

The first annual Pittsburgh 9/11 Heroes Run feature a 5 k and 1 mile fun run to honor fallen American heroes . The Travis Manion Foundation's philosophy is to "honor the fallen by challenging the living." The 9/11 Heroes Run exemplifies this philosophy. It is an event that allows anyone to set a reasonable goal and demonstrate their commitment to honoring the sacrifices of our heroes through a physical endeavor - symbolic in nature, but powerful when multiplied individually and by community.
