9/11 Heroes Run - Baton Rouge

The 9/11 Heroes Run is a community event located in Gonzales, Louisiana. The race is held at River Parishes Community College on Edenborne Parkway. The event serves to honor the individuals affected by the events of September 11 and those who have served in the military or as first responders. The activities are open to participants of various fitness levels including runners, ruckers, and walkers.

Participants can choose from the following event categories:

  • 5K Run (Individual, Military/First Responder, Pusher, or Rider options)
  • 5K Ruck (Individual or Military/First Responder options)

The rucking division is organized in partnership with GORUCK. This specific sport is based on special forces training and involves walking or running while wearing a weighted rucksack. Individuals registered in the rucking categories receive an exclusive Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) GORUCK patch upon participation.

Registration fees vary by category and registration date, with specific pricing tiers available for active-duty military and first responders. The event also provides an option for individuals to participate as volunteers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
