Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk - Delaware Beaches

The Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk in northern Delaware is a 5K run or walk with a memorial purpose. It honors Stephen Siller, the FDNY firefighter who ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel toward the Twin Towers, and it also honors those killed in the September 11 attacks. The event supports first responders and military members who have made sacrifices. Runners and walkers share the same event, and participants may wear firefighter turnout gear or carry military backpacks, making the day read more like a public act of respect than a standard local 5K.
