Join us on Sunday September 30 at 9:30 AM at the University of Delaware for the 9/11 Heroes Run, a national 5K race held annually by the Travis Manion Foundation which brings communities together to remember the sacrifices of the heroes of the September 11th attacks and wars since. The 9/11 Heroes Run has spread from a small grassroots event with a few hundred people in one small community in Pennsylvania in 2007 to an event that spans over 50 cities around the world. Last year, more than 30,000 participants joined with their communities to run, volunteer, donate, cheer, but most of all: honor our nation’s heroes.
Register to Walk, Run, Volunteer, Donate, or Fundraise at https://www.travismanion.org/community-engagement/911-heroes-run/2018-university-of-delaware/
Race Day Registration opens at 8am and the opening ceremonies start at 9:11am. We hope to ensure that the UD 9/11 Heroes Run brings our community together. The 9/11 Heroes Run is one of the only race series that invests funds raised back into the communities that host a race. Through a progressive grant process, the Travis Manion Foundation invested nearly $240,000 last year into community organizations who are assisting military personnel, veterans, first responders and their families locally.
If members of our DE 4-H Extension family would like to make a donation of water, Gatorade, snacks, or fruit, please contact Karen Johnston at 302-831-8866 for logistics. Financial donations can be made on the website.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Race Day 9/30/18! Happy Trails!
