The 9/11 Patriot Day Races, sponsored by Athletico Physical Therapy, consists of three separate races to remember those that lost their life in the terrorist attack that took place on Sept. 11, 2001.
There will be a 9.11-mile race and a 9.11K race to remember the attack that took place on 9/11/2001. There will also be a 2.977-mile race to honor the 2977 fire fighters, police, emergency personnel and civilians who lost their life that day. All participants will receive a Patriot Day Race t-shirt and finisher medal. Age group awards will be given.
Races start at 8 a.m. and a moment of silence will be observed at 7:55 a.m. The races will start at Meadows Shopping Center and run east on Ohio Boulevard to Deming Park. Runners and walkers will make their way through Deming Park and return to the Meadows Shopping Center. The 9.11K and 9.11-mile race will be two and three laps, respectively. Course maps can be found on the event webpage..
The start/finish line will be on the front (west side) of Meadows Shopping Center. All race participants MUST park on the back side (east side) of the shopping center. For easiest parking, please enter off Poplar as the majority of Ohio will be shut down for the race.
Come out to remember and honor the lives of those who died on September 11, 2001.
