About the race
The 8th Annual 9/11 Run to Remember is a free memorial running and walking event hosted by Philadelphia FBIRA on September 10, 2026 at the National Constitution Center Lawn, 525 Arch St, Philadelphia, PA 19106. The event honors the victims, heroes, and survivors of the September 11th attacks that occurred 25 years earlier.
Participation is organized into several categories: competitive, non-competitive, walking, and volunteer. Distances include:
- Competitive Run - 3.5 miles
- Non-Competitive Run - 3.5 miles
- Walk - distance flexible
The course begins and finishes in front of the National Constitution Center lawn on Arch Street. The approximately 3.5-mile out-and-back route uses the south-side pedestrian path of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, with a turnaround at the hydration station in Camden, NJ. Walkers may turn around at any point and return to the Start/Finish area.
The event is 100% free to all participants. A timing clock will be available at the Start/Finish line for those who wish to track time; there will not be official timekeeping. Awards will be provided to top performers. Merchandising includes pre-event T-shirt orders (deadline September 2), a commemorative challenge coin available for purchase on race day, and additional apparel and items sold before and after the event.
Registration privacy settings limit public information to participant names; optional questions collect emergency contact details and agency affiliation. Volunteer registrants will receive instructions the week of the event. Reserved parking near the venue is limited; car pooling is suggested for those traveling from surrounding areas.
