About this race
What is a Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk?
The Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk Series was created to honor the sacrifices made every day by first responders, veterans, and their families and to remember the heroic life and death of Stephen Siller, a New York City firefighter (FDNY) who lost his life on September 11, 2001 after strapping on his gear and running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. The Foundation works to honor all of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and support our first responders and military who make extraordinary sacrifices in the line of duty every day!
