Tunnel to Towers Run

Ten years ago, firefighter Stephen Siller had just finished the late shift at Squad 1 in Park Slope, Brooklyn when he heard on the scanner that a plane crashed into the World Trade Center. He put on his gear and raced his truck to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, which had just been closed to traffic.

Since then, the Siller Family has honored Stephen’s legacy with the Tunnel to Towers Run. CBS 2 has served as a proud media sponsor of the Tunnel to Towers Run since its inception and continues on this tenth year of the event.

CBS 2 will broadcast the run in an hour-long special at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday, September 25th. The Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation believes that we can transcend the tragedy of 9/11 through the grace that comes from the power of caring.

Follow in the footsteps of a hero by participating in this 5K run beginning on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. For more information and to register, go to Tunnel To TowersRun.org or call 718-987-1931.
