Travis Manion Foundation to Host Annual 9/11 Heroes Run in San Antonio, TX

The 9/11 Heroes Run 5K series was inspired by Marine 1st Lt. Travis Manion, who was killed by a sniper in Iraq in April 2007 as he selflessly protected his battalion. Before his final deployment, Travis visited Rescue One in NYC—famous for losing almost all of their men on 9/11—and returned home with deeper passion about why he was fighting in Iraq. 

San Antonio, TX — August, 22, 2017.-  The Travis Manion Foundation will host the San Antonio 9/11 Heroes Run 5K race and 1 mile Fun Run at 9am, on September 10th at Texas A&M University-San Antonio. The annual race will unite the community to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost on 9/11, as well as to honor our veterans, military, and first responders who serve our country and our communities. Proceeds from the 9/11 Heroes Run will benefit the Travis Manion Foundation, which empowers veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations.
