9/11 Heroes Run - Great Lakes Bay, Michigan {2026}
Advertisement
The 9/11 Heroes Run is back for the 13th year (in-person) hosted on the campus of Saginaw Valley State University. The race uses the certified 5K route from SVSU's Ryder Center down the center of campus to the ponds, then loops around using the non-motorized pathway and back to Ryder Center.
This professionally timed event awards finisher medals to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age bracket of the 5K Run. Age brackets vary by location and are set based on registrants' ages. New this year, as part of honoring the 25th anniversary, we will award participation medals to all. As in previous years, we also have awards for those participating in the GORUCK divisions.
This year we are excited to offer a few food trucks on-site for your enjoyment post-race. Our pre-race remembrance ceremony begins approximately 20 minutes before race time.
Virtual participation and volunteer opportunities are also available. Visit the website below to learn more.

Started in 2007 by the family of fallen 1st Lt. Travis Manion as a grassroots run in his hometown Doylestown, PA with 300 runners, the 9/11 Heroes Run now has more than 90 race locations and unites more than 60,000 people yearly to celebrate our heroes and spread awareness. Race proceeds directly support the Travis Manion Foundation's mission to empower our nation's veterans and families of our fallen heroes to develop character in future generations and strengthen communities. In select locations, a portion of race proceeds are granted back to a local nonprofit partner whose mission is also to empower our heroes. We believe the best way to honor the fallen is by challenging the living.
