9/11 Memorial 5K Run~Walk and Kids Fun Run

This race benefits the Stephen G. Ward Memorial Scholarship Fund. Steve was young, vibrant, and ambitious when he was so needlessly taken from us on September 11th, 2001. He was a funny, charismatic, and loving son, brother, uncle, and friend, and was climbing a promising career ladder at Cantor Fitzgerald. He was one of the best and the brightest, a symbol of what America lost that tragic day. This event is to honor and remember all of those we lost.

Kids’ Fun Run starts at the adjacent Gorham High School track at 8:30 AM. Children aged 8 years and under will run one lap (0.25 miles), while children aged 9 to 12 years old will run two laps (0.50 miles).
5K will start after all the parents return from the kids’ fun and after the send-off of our uniformed emergency responders, who complete the 5K course in full gear. Typically, the runners and walkers start around 9:15.
If the race is canceled due to extreme weather conditions or any other conditions beyond our control, we will not be able to refund registration fees.
