9/11 Heroes Run
The 9/11 Heroes Run is scheduled for September 12, 2026 at Community Park, 8 Bridges Dr, South Barrington, Illinois 60010. The event honors the heroes of 9/11 and others who have served the nation, and it aims to activate and unite communities while supporting local veterans, active duty members, first responders, and families of the fallen. The program welcomes runners, ruckers, and walkers of all ages and fitness levels.
Event formats include several distances and participant options:
- 5K Run
- 5K Ruck
- 1 mile Walk
The run series partners with GORUCK to offer dedicated rucking divisions at each event. Rucking is described as a sport based on special forces training in which participants walk or run while carrying weighted rucksacks. All participants registered in the GORUCK division will receive that year’s TMF GORUCK patch. A volunteer role is listed as part of the event program.
