The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers 5K Run and Walk is set to take place Sunday.

The annual event honors FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, who died in the 9/11 terror attacks.

Sunday’s race route traces the steps that Siller took when he abandoned his truck at the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel and ran to the Twin Towers on foot. To learn more about Siller’s story, visit tunnel2towers.org/stephens-story.
