  What is a Tunnel To Towers Run & Walk?

  The Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk Series was created to honor the heroic life and death of Stephen Siller, a New York City firefighter (FDNY) who lost his life on September 11, 2001, after strapping on his gear and running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. Honor all of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001, and support our first responders and military who make extraordinary sacrifices in the line of duty! For more information on the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation please visit www.T2T.org.

  This will be the 10th year in Jackson, MI, and we are excited to once again bring together the community to honor first responders, remember 9/11, and raise funds for the Tunnel to Towers programs. For the 10th anniversary of the event, all participants will be receiving a commemorative finisher coin.

  How far is a Tunnel to Towers Run & Walk?

  This is a 5K (3.1 miles) walk or run event. Anyone can run, walk, or experience this event.

  When does online registration close?

  Online registration will remain open until the start of the event. If you register after packet pick-up, you may not receive your t-shirt and any other race-day swag.

  Can I register on the day of the run?

  Yes. Registration will open at 7 am the morning of the run. There will be a $5 late registration fee for those who choose to register on the morning of the race for all registrants except for First Responders. If you wait to register, we may not have a shirt for you, and we can not guarantee sizes for late registrants.

  Does my registration come with a T-shirt?

  If you register before May 1st, you are guaranteed a shirt. People who register after this date are not guaranteed a shirt and will get one as supplies last.

  Will there be awards for running?

  Yes, we keep them very simple since our mission is to honor first responders; most of our awards are based on firefighters, police, or military running in gear in the same fashion that Stephen Siller did on 9/11. This event is intended to be an experience and much more than a run. The event is timed.

  Do I have to wear my bib number?

  Yes, please display your bib on the front of your outermost garment. Those who run without a bib will be asked to leave the course and will not be allowed to finish.

  I am a fast runner. Can I get a front-line position?

  Runners predicting a pace faster than 6 minute/mile will be seeded in the front corral (arrive early).

  Yes, there will be an Emergency Medical Service team available on site. There is also radio communication available on the course to help communicate with the EMS.

  Will water be available?

  Yes, a water station will be available along the route and there will be water available at the start/finish line.

  Where can I pick up my packet?

  Packet pickup will be available on race day starting at 7am. We may also hold early pickup on Friday, May 15, 2026. Location and time TBD.

  Can someone else pick up my packet for me?

  Yes, they can. They must present a copy of your registration receipt. And don't forget to thank them!

  As a participant, can I fundraise/encourage others to donate?

  Yes! Once you are registered, you will be given directions to start your own fundraising page, and you will be able to accept donations online. Do you want to donate cash/money? We can help you with that. Contact us at Jackson@t2t.org and we can walk you through the process.

  Does Tunnel to Towers offer fundraising incentives?
