Come join the Travis Manion Foundation as we run to honor our Heroes. The 2012 9/11 Heroes Run is bringing communities together throughout the country and around the world this September 11th. Our goal is to never forget the sacrifices of all of the Heroes of September 11th - veteran, first responder, military, and civilian. We honor the fallen by challenging the living.

This is a run for charity with 50% of race proceeds being donated directly back to local 501(c)(3)'s whom also strive to honor the fallen, or those who continue to serve our country every day for our freedoms and safety.

Volunteer, Run, or just come out to cheer and watch - it promises to be a great time. If you're undecided about participating ask yourself, "if not me, then who..."
