9/11 Heroes Run - Grand Rapids
The 9/11 Heroes Run in Grand Rapids is a community event held at Grand Valley State University in Allendale on September 26, 2026. The event honors the heroes of 9/11 and those who have served since, and it brings together veterans, active duty personnel, first responders, and families of the fallen.
The event program includes two primary participant options:
- 5K Run
- 5K Ruck
Rucking divisions are offered in partnership with GORUCK. Rucking involves walking or running while carrying a weighted rucksack, and participants registered in the GORUCK division receive that year's TMF GORUCK patch.
Registration details by division are provided by the organizer. The 5K Run and 5K Ruck registrations open June 2, 2026 and the listed early registration period closes June 30, 2026 with fees shown for those registration windows. A volunteer option is also available with separate registration dates and no registration fee.
The event description emphasizes community activation and support for local veterans, active duty service members, first responders, and families affected by 9/11 and subsequent service. The setting is on the Grand Valley State University campus in Allendale, Michigan. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
