Thank you to everyone who participated on Sunday, April 26 in our third annual 5K Run/Walk and Family Day event. View a photo gallery of the event here.

More than 4,000 people participated in this year’s 5K and thousands attended our Family Day following the race. Family Day included performances from the West Point Band and the American Bombshells and fun activities like the NYPD rock wall. Also joining at Family Day were community partners such as Tails of Hope, New York Says Thank You and Tuesday’s Children.

The 9/11 Memorial Museum would like to thank the NYPD, PAPD and FDNY for their support and participation as volunteers and runners. We also wish to express gratitude to all of our sponsors, including RXR Realty for serving as our title sponsor and Under Armour for being our T-shirt sponsor.
