The 9.11 Promise Run

The 9.11 Promise Run route guarantees that you will see sites you typically do not have the opportunity to experience… it’s like a step back in time running through our country’s history and roots.

Your journey will take you by monuments in Washington D.C., the Inner Harbor in Baltimore, down Broad Street to City Hall in Philadelphia, and a beautiful run along the Hudson River before we end our journey at the 9/11 Memorial in New York. You will experience the blue-collar neighborhoods that built the North East, ports and harbors that deliver cargo essential to our livelihood, and the refineries around Philadelphia where you can channel the spirit of ‘Rocky’! Let’s not forget the farmlands and college towns like the University of Maryland, Johns Hopkins, Princeton, and Rutgers.

There are a lot of flat stretches and also a good amount of rolling hills. Most of the route entails a sidewalk or a large shoulder. There are a few patches along the route where the road narrows and the running space is limited – in these areas, we highly encourage you to have someone comfortable running that particular stretch or driving the short stretch as a team. Please keep in mind that this is an open course. There are no closed roads. There will be no police presence at intersections.  Runners must follow and obey traffic and pedestrian laws.

Safety must come first! This will be an unforgettable journey for a GREAT cause!
