9/11 Memorial Tribute Challenge
The event takes place on September 12, 2026 at Memorial Stadium, 440 S Union St, Kokomo, IN. It is presented as the 25th anniversary 9/11 Memorial Tribute Challenge and combines a road event, strength endurance workouts, and a stair-climb memorial.
The road event is a 5K run/walk. Timing equipment and race bibs are available on the day of the event, and the start line is located on the west side of the stadium. Participants should check the registration table for bib pickup and start information.
The fitness component includes multiple Kokomo CrossFit Hero WOD sessions on the stadium grounds. The Hero WOD consists of a 2001 meter run or row bookending a sequence of 11 repetitions each of box jumps, American kettlebell swings, two dumbbell thrusters, burpees, two dumbbell devil presses, lunges for each leg, a handstand or bear crawl distance, and two dumbbell push jerks.
Planet Fitness sponsors a 110-floor climb on stair-climbing machines. Climbers may complete the full climb individually or split the floors with another participant. The stair-climbing machines are positioned overlooking Memorial Stadium and other event areas.
Registration for listed activities carries a fee of $25. Registration opens May 8, 2026 and closes August 21, 2026. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
