Hello American Heroes Runners,
Thank you for another amazing year, you all persevered and finished well. As I promised at the race start, we are going to push the envelope for our 8th year in 2018. We are setting a goal of 343 runners (one for each FDNY fire fighter lost on 9/11). We will also be recruiting for members of our armed services to make a large presence during the run in 2018.
We are committing to you to have the following for next year:
We are also changing the start format to offer a greater tribute to the timeline of the day and a more ceremonial way to honor all those lost on 9/11 (details below).
We would like to invite you to help in the process of making this the best event of its kind. So please invite your friends- invite your church groups, co workers and commit to going farther than you did last year.
Thank you and God Bless the USA!!
David.
