Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk - Boston, MA
New in 2025! This is the 5th anniversary of the T2T Boston Run and Walk and all participants will be receiving a commemorative 5th Anniversary Challenge Coin! What is a Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk? The Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk Series was created to honor 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. 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! For more information on the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, please visit www.t2t.org .
