Thank you to the over 3200 participants on the first ever Run To Remember Run/Walk 5km in 2011.  This was a record turnout for a first time race in Sacramento thank you to all those that made it possible.  When the photos from the event are ready from Facchino Photography they will be available -->> Here <<--

Here are a couple of good ones Facchino took:

Come and join us in remembering not only the nearly 3000 Americans who did not return home to their families after the tragedy that occurred on September 11, 2001, but also those members of our Armed Forces who have given their lives defending our country. In doing so, you will be honoring those who were lost while helping to establish a support system for the families of local public servants, should they make the ultimate sacrifice.

In Downtown Sacramento, the Run To Remember 5K Run/Walk will take place to give those who vowed to “Never Forget” the opportunity to exercise that vow. The 5K will start at 9:11 on 9/9, and wind through Downtown Sacramento. At the finish of the 5K, American flags will be handed to runners as they cross the line. Each flag will represent an American who lost their life on 9/11/2001. Runners will carry the flag they are given and will place it in the grass in the “Tribute in the Park”. Each American Flag will be placed next to a name plate engraved with the name of an American who did not return home. When the 9/11 5K Memorial Run/Walk is complete, nearly 3000 flags will stand united in the grass as a tribute to those that were lost.

10am-3pm The Tribute in the Park

 At the conclusion of the 5K there will be a Tribute in the Park at Capitol Mall between 5th and 7th streets. The Tribute will be a family friendly event where runners and members of the community are encouraged to gather in honor of all the families whose time together was cut short. We will honor these families by spending this day with our loved ones while remembering those who were lost.

The Tribute will include: an opening ceremony with the National Anthem and Remembrance, activities for kids, live music, as well as a variety of foods and refreshments.

Join us in an active tribute honoring those who have sacrificed so much.

Never Forget.
