9/11 Heroes Run - Virginia Beach, Virginia
The 9/11 Heroes Run at the Military Aviation Museum in Virginia Beach is a community event held on 09/26/2026 that honors the heroes of 9/11 and those who have served since. The event brings together local veterans, active duty personnel, first responders, and families of the fallen while activating and uniting nearby communities.
Multiple participation options are available, including a general 5K run, specialty 5K run divisions labeled PUSHER and RIDER, and a 5K ruck division. A volunteer category is also listed. Registration fees vary by division and include free options for certain entries; examples from this edition include a $36 fee for the standard 5K run, a $31 fee for the 5K Run PUSHER division, a $41 fee for the 5K Ruck division, and zero dollar entry for the 5K Run RIDER division and volunteers.
The event partner TMF works with GORUCK to offer rucking divisions at every run. Rucking is described as walking or running while carrying a weighted rucksack based on special forces training. Participants registered in the GORUCK division receive the event year’s exclusive TMF GORUCK patch. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
