Join us in September 2026 in-person or virtually to run and inspire the next generation.

All in-person and virtual athletes must register and commit to raising $200–which will go to the 9.11 Promise charity.

Our goal is to raise $100,000 with 100% of that money going to our amazing scholarship recipients.

Supporting the Next Generation

It is nice to know that there are other kids who have experienced similar things that I have. It is also comforting to know that so much of my school costs will be covered.
