About the event
**Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk for Athletes**Step up to honor the legacy of Stephen Siller, a courageous New York City firefighter who heroically ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, ultimately sacrificing his life. This 5K (3.1 miles) event is open for both runners and walkers to show support for our first responders and military personnel who make incredible sacrifices.
- **Distance & Timing:** The run spans 5K (3.1 miles) and is untimed, focusing on participation and tribute rather than competition.
- **Packet Pickup:** Stay tuned for details on where and when you can pick up your race materials.
- **Registration:** Early registration is encouraged for the best pricing, with fees increasing as the event approaches. Race day registration is available with a price increase.
- **Parking & Bibs:** Parking is accessible at 201 S. Ash Avenue, Tempe, AZ 85281, and participants must display their bib numbers clearly during the event.
- **For Fast Runners:** Prepare to start strong—athletes predicting a pace below 6-minute/mile will get a front corral spot, so arrive early to secure your position.
- **Hydration:** Stay refreshed with water stations along the course and at the Finish Line.
- **Gear & Etiquette:** Strollers, wheelchairs, and items like firefighter turnout gear and military backpacks are allowed. Ensure personal belongings are securely stored, as the event is not responsible for them.
- **Fundraising & Donations:** While registration fees help cover event costs, fundraising is highly encouraged to support the Tunnel to Towers Foundation. Create a fundraising page and spread the word—every contribution helps.
- **Volunteer & Sponsor:** Reach out via Tempe@t2t.org to explore sponsorship or volunteer opportunities. Your support and contributions are vital.
- **Race Day Info:** Expect medical personnel on-site, and while headphones are allowed, stay alert for any emergency communications.
- **Weather & Refunds:** The event proceeds rain or shine, except in the case of lightning. Note that all registrations are final and non-refundable.
- **Extras & Extras:** Your registration includes a T2T run shirt and race bib. Enjoy the experience, whether you're in patriotic attire or running with your leashed dog.
