  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 Tunnel to Towers Foundation, please visit t2t.org.

  This will be the fifth year for Tunnel to Towers to host an event in Greenville, SC. We are very excited to bring together the community to honor first responders, remember 9/11, and raise funds for the Tunnel to Towers programs.

  Step into the embrace of nature at the Lake Conestee 8k Trail Race, where the earth beneath your feet is alive with the rhythm of the wild. This race is more than just a physical challenge—it’s an invitation to reconnect with the natural world. Set within the tranquil beauty of Lake Conestee Nature Park, the race offers a soulful experience for all runners, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or a casual wanderer. As you move through the park, you’ll be enveloped by the serenity of the forests, wetlands, and shimmering lake waters.

  This course is designed to bring you closer to the heart of nature. Each step on the trail carries you deeper into the wild, where towering trees stretch toward the sky and gentle inclines guide you through diverse landscapes. The paths weave through shaded forests, cross wooden boardwalks over quiet wetlands, and offer moments of peaceful reflection beside the waters of the lake. It’s a race that moves with the rhythm of nature, offering challenges and rewards in equal measure. The course, with its 285 feet of elevation gain, will test your endurance while inviting you to lose yourself in the beauty of your surroundings.

  The Lake Conestee 8k Trail Race is more than a competition—it’s a celebration of the natural world, of human endurance, and of the connection between both. As you navigate the trails, you’ll find moments of camaraderie and community, with fellow runners and volunteers who share your love for nature. After you cross the finish line, you’ll leave with more than just a sense of accomplishment—you’ll carry with you the memories of a day spent immersed in the raw beauty of Lake Conestee Nature Park.
