Stephen Siller, beloved husband and father of five, was a firefighter from Squad 1, Park Slope Brooklyn. On 9/11, he was off-duty, and on his way to golf with his 3 older brothers.
When Stephen heard on his scanner that the World Trade Center had been hit, he turned his vehicle around and headed towards the site. When his truck was prohibited from entering the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, typically of him, he raced on foot towards the site with his gear strapped to his back.
He was last seen alive on West and Liberty Streets where he, more than likely, went looking for his Squad, all of whom perished. The Tunnel to Towers Run retraces Stephen's footsteps on that fateful day.
In running along his path, we honor the memory of all the Firefighters, Police, and EMS workers who performed their duty that day. In running this race, we are reclaiming still another part of the city for all our heroes and for all of those who died on 9/11.
They will never be forgotten!
for more info go to the websight below or e-mail me thanks.
Just scoped out the results. There is a good chance I can pull a top 10 or higher so I might just go to race. We'll see. Either way I'm doing this race and making a FD racing jersey.
Guess I should start getting back in shape, not just tournament shape.
Do you guys run it in gear or in running apparel? If you do run it in the gear, how do you go about it? Full gear, only outside shell, boots or sneakers?
I ran it in full PPE minus hood and pack i would not do it in boots just wear sneekers i had blisters on the back of my heels the size of Gatorad bottle caps for a week.
