Travis Manion Foundation’s 9/11 Heroes Run will mark its 10th year in the Phoenix metro area on Sept. 23, hosting its signature 5K Race and 1-Mile Fun Run at Kiwanis Park in memorial of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and to pay homage to all first responders and military personnel.
Approaching the anniversary of 9/11, Tempe has a number of veteran service organizations honoring the lives lost during the attacks, including the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk and the Tempe Healing Field both at Tempe Beach Park.
However, to allow participants to support those other events and to wait for hopefully cooler weather, TMF’s event is scheduled for later this month, honoring not just those lost during 9/11 but supporting current veterans from the community.
