Description
The Travis Manion Foundation will host the Richmond 9/11 Heroes Run 5K race a 1M fun run at 2pm, on September 8th at 1000 Semmes Avenue. The annual race will unite the community to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, as well as to honor our veterans, military, and first responders who serve our country and our communities.
The 9/11 Heroes Run 5K series was inspired by Marine 1st Lt. Travis Manion, who was killed by a sniper in Iraq in April 2007 as he selflessly protected his battalion. Before his final deployment, Travis visited Rescue One in NYC—famous for losing almost all of their men on 9/11—and returned home with deeper passion about why he was fighting in Iraq. At its heart, the 9/11 Heroes Run is a tribute to a personal commitment to never forget the heroes of that day. Now in its 12th year, the 9/11 Heroes Run national race series will be held in more than 50 locations across the country and around the world.
