9/11 Heroes Run 5k/1.5 mile fun run

The 9/11 Heroes Run is an annual event held in nearly 30 cities around the country and overseas. Always held around 9/11, the run honors our police, fire, EMS and military personnel who selflessly give so that we may enjoy safety and freedom. This annual run is a fundraiser that supports both The Travis Manion Foundation and the Mercer Island based Team Jesse Foundation. The money raised will go to help the families of our fallen heroes.
