Why We Run
We run to honor the sacrifice.
We run to remember the bravery.
We run for those who gave everything.
The Tunnel to Towers 5K is more than just a race — it’s a tribute. Inspired by the heroism of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller, who ran through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers on 9/11, we run to carry his legacy forward.
We run for our hero, Detective Dalsh Veve, who exemplifies courage, resilience, and unwavering dedication.
We run to honor his service and the strength of his family.
We run to make sure his name, his story, and his sacrifice are never forgotten.
We run for the first responders who charged into danger while others fled.
We run for the military heroes who laid down their lives for our freedom.
We run to support the families they left behind — to show them they are never alone.
This is why we run.
This is why we’re proud to be Dalsh’s Dawgs.
Strength and Honor
