9/11 Heroes Run - Pennsauken
The 9/11 Heroes Run in Pennsauken, New Jersey, is a community event held at Cooper River Park, specifically starting near the Jack Curtis Stadium. This event is designed to honor the heroes of September 11 and those who have served in the military or as first responders. The race options cater to various participation styles, including runners, walkers, and ruckers.
Participants can choose from several distances and categories:
- 5K Run
- 5K Ruck
- 1 Mile Run/Walk
The 5K Run includes specific categories for individual participants, active duty military, first responders, and a pusher/rider division. The 1 Mile Run/Walk is open to individuals and families and serves as a shorter alternative to the full course.
The event features a dedicated rucking division in partnership with GORUCK. Rucking is a discipline derived from special forces training where participants complete the course while carrying a weighted rucksack. Individuals registered for the rucking division receive an exclusive patch. The event aims to unite the local community while recognizing the contributions of veterans and families of the fallen.
