25 years later, we still remember. 🇺🇸

The California 9/11 Memorial is more than a backdrop for our event — it is the heart of why we gather.

Every element of this memorial stands as a tribute to the lives lost, the heroes who responded, and the unity that followed September 11, 2001.

On Saturday, September 5, our community will come together once again for the 9/11 Run to Remember.

Registration pricing increases soon, so if you’ve been thinking about joining us, now is the time. Register through the link in our bio.
