Tunnel To Towers Run

Jul 12th, 2011

Members of the New York Fire Department honored Mobile with their attendance at the City Council meeting Tuesday to promote the upcoming Stephen Siller Tunnel To Towers Run - in recognition of the 10th Anniversary of September 11.

Mobile will be one of several cities across the nation to host a "Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Run" to mark the tenth anniversary of September 11. The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Run began in New York City following the 9/11 attacks as a way to memorialize New York firefighter Stephen Siller and the other 342 firefighters who died trying to save others on Sept. 11, 2001.

The Mobile Tunnel to Tower run will be held on Sunday, Sept. 11 beginning at 7:30 a.m. It will begin at the Battleship Alabama Memorial Park and proceed through the Bankhead Tunnel, ending somewhere near the RSA Tower, which is the tallest building in Alabama.
