New York, NY, Aug. 19, 2024 – On Sunday, September 29, nearly 40,000 people will participate in the 23rd Annual Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk NYC.

The 5K course retraces the final footsteps of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller on September 11, 2001, from the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers.

This annual event pays homage to the 343 FDNY firefighters, 23 NYPD officers, 37 PAPD officers, 3 court officers, and thousands of civilians who lost their lives on that fateful day, as well as those who have lost their lives in the decades since to 9/11-related illnesses and the Global War on Terror.

Three-time GRAMMY ® Award-winning Southern rock group Zac Brown Band will headline the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk NYC post-run concert on Vesey Street.

Since their debut, Zac Brown Band has sold over 30.5 million singles and 9.3 million albums, amassed over 11 billion catalog streams, and achieved 16 #1 radio singles, making them only the second act to top both the Country and Active Rock formats. This year, the band continues to solidify their status as a powerhouse in the music industry with the upcoming release of their new single, “Two Blue Chairs and You,” dropping on Friday, August 23, while headlining numerous shows, including the inaugural “Cape Town Country” festival in Cape Town, South Africa, and wrapping up their dynamic performances on Kenny Chesney’s SUN GOES DOWN Tour.

“Zac Brown Band has a long history of supporting America’s veterans and active service members. We are grateful to have them join us at this year’s Tunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk NYC, as we honor my brother and all those who were lost on September 11, 2001, and in the years since,” said Tunnel to Towers Chairman & CEO Frank Siller.
