Chase the Cougar 5K

Join us for our 2nd Annual 9/11 Tribute Run! We will start our campaign at dawn, on the morning of 5 September. We will do a reading at Shanksville Flight 93 Memorial, honoring the 40 fallen, and we will begin our run to Washington, finishing at the Lincoln Memorial, 170 miles over a two-day period.

Day one has us running 13 legs covering 90 miles, as we run through the hills of PA and bed down for the night in Hagerstown MD.

Day two is 12 legs covering 80 miles. 29 of the miles has us safely on trails, as we push to Harpers Ferry eating up miles in VA finally arriving at the Lincoln Memorial in the evening on Sunday the 6th of September.

Individual registration covers the following:

X2 nights (5/6 September) in a hotel (you will have a roommate). Single rooms can be accommodated at an additional cost

Van transportation departing Alexandria VA and Virginia Beach VA on 4 September heading to Shanksville PA. The vans will monitor the runners throughout the day on 5/6 September and will shuttle runners to their starting points for their assigned legs. When we finish on Sunday 6 September; a van will be available for anyone that needs to return to VA Beach.

A dry fit shirt of your choice. We always run in Red, White, and Blue.

We will have H20 and snacks. Runners are responsible for their own food.

A running vest is required for any twilight and night running, no exceptions.

This is part one of our campaign for 9/11/2026. After we arrive in Washington we will begin our journey on the morning of 08 September as we conquer an additional 270 miles, running through the District of Washington and then North and East through PA and NJ, and arrive in NYC on the morning of 9/11. Our total distance will be over 485 miles in six days. You will need to register separately for the Washington to NYC run.
