Honor the fallen. Carry the baton. Run with purpose.
565 miles, 122 Legs, 7 days, 1 Mission
September 5-11, 2026
The 7th Annual Great American Relay is a 7-day, tribute run where runners pass a baton along the 9/11 Memorial Route. We start at the Flight 93 Memorial, make our way to the Pentagon and finish at the World Trade Center. Each leg is led by one lead runner and up to ten support runners. Runners of all backgrounds come together to honor the heroes of September 11th, support veterans and first responders, and celebrate the strength of the American spirit. Simply sign up, show up, then run!
Tunnel To Towers is one of the nation’s most trusted and impactful charities serving veterans, first responders, and their families.
Born from the tragedy of 9/11, Tunnel to Towers provides mortgage‑free homes to Gold Star families and fallen first responders, builds specially adapted smart homes for catastrophically injured veterans, and is committed to ending veteran homelessness — all while ensuring America never forgets the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001
We're less than **2 months away** from race day, and together we've already raised an incredible **$3,801** for the **Tunnel to Towers Foundation**!
Our goal this year is **$5,000**, and we're so close. With everyone's help, I know we can not only reach it—we can exceed it.
Every dollar you raise helps Tunnel to Towers continue its mission of supporting our nation's heroes, first responders, and the families of those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
