Race for Remembrance - 9/11 Tribute Run - Washington DC to New York NY

Join us for part two of our campaign for 9/11/2026. On the morning of 08 September after a reading honoring the 184 people whose lives where lost at the Pentagon 25 years ago, our Tribute Run will continue as we make our way to NYC. A team of 30 runners from Old Town Run Club and Murphy's Run Club, will have run 170 miles over a two-day period from the Flight 93 Memorial in Shanksville PA, carrying a flag that will continue all the way to New York.

Day 1 will have us tackling 110 miles passing through DC, heading north through Maryland into the hills in PA, where we will bed down for the night in Mountville PA.

Day 2 has us up at the crack of dawn covering 69 miles and finishing up in time for drinks and dinner in Skippack PA. Another overnight in Kulpsville PA.

Day3 will be an 87 mile affair finally heading east through NJ and across the Goethals Bridge arriving in Staten Island. Our lodging will be at the Navy Lodge at Fort Wadsworth. 

Day 4 all runners and volunteers will run together covering the 3.6 miles from the Navy Lodge to the Staten Island Ferry. When we arrive in NY, it’s a short 0.6 of a mile to Zuccotti Park arriving before the first plane crashed at 08:46 AM. We will assemble for a prayer vigil and pay our respects.

Over the four days we will cover over 270 total miles. 

-For twilight and night time running a full running vest will be required, no exceptions.

Registration includes the following:

-Four nights in a hotel (Tues through Fri, checkout or extend on Saturday). You will have a roommate off your choice. Single rooms can be arranged, depending on availability. You are responsible for the price difference.

-Van transportation departing Alexandria VA on 08 September. We will have multiple vans that will monitor the runners and shuttle them to their starting points for their assigned legs. After we arrive on the 11th, we will have a return plan and we anticipate vans returning to Alexandria or Virginia Beach on the 12th and 13th.  

-A dry fit shirt of your choice (Red/White/Blue) Additional shirts will be available for sale. 

-We will have H20 and snacks in the vans, runners are responsible for their own food. 

It is expected that all runners and volunteers will help with fundraising and most especially raising awareness for our campaign and the foundation.

*The race directors have absolute authority to deem a route “red” and every effort will be made to find an alternate route. When not available or if it is a safety concern we will skip that portion of the route.
