Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk - Greenville, SC

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.

Can I register the day of the run?
Yes. Registration will open at 7:15 AM the morning of the run. If you register on the same day of the event, you will be unable to receive a timed chip for your bib. T-shirts are limited, so it is a possibility you will not receive a t-shirt either with same day registrations.

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, but behind uniformed first responders (please arrive early). 

Will there be awards for running? 
Yes, we keep them very simple since our mission is to honor first responders. We hope to have awards for men, women, and different age groups. This event is intended to be an experience and much more than a run. Each participant will receive a finisher medal.

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.

What can you bring to the event? Can I run with a stroller, backpack, wheelchair, roller blades, bicycle, etc.?
