United We Remember 3.43 Mile Run/Walk

The United We Remember 3.43 Mile Run/Walk is a community run and walk held at Tradition Square in Port Saint Lucie, Florida. The distance, 3.43 miles, directly honors the 343 firefighters who perished in the September 11 attacks. Hosted by the St. Lucie County Firefighters Benevolent Association, the event focuses on remembrance over competition. The route begins and ends at Tradition Square, providing a central point for firefighters, families, and supporters to convene. The event accommodates both runners and walkers, functioning as a moving public memorial rather than a typical race. The core tradition is the distance itself, with each mile referencing the honored firefighters.
