Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk today in NYC honors 9/11 fallen heroes. See the route and street closures.

The 2025 Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk is on Sunday, when thousands of people will retrace the route that fallen FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller ran on 9/11. 

The three and a half mile journey starts on the Brooklyn side of the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel and finishes at West Street and Murray Street in Lower Manhattan. 

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation has hosted the event annually since 2002, paying tribute to the first responders and civilians who died in the terror attacks 24 years ago.

The foundation also helps provide mortgage-free homes to Gold Star families and families of fallen first responders. It also hosts the annual Tower Climb, where participants trek 104 stories up One World Observatory.
