BOISE, ID, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- Mission43, a dedicated community organization committed to empowering military members, veterans, and their families, is set to host the 9/11 Miles of Remembrance Run on Monday, September 11th, at 5:00 pm at Ann Morrison Park in downtown Boise. The annual event holds significance as we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and acknowledge the dedication of our military community.

Every year, Mission43 conducts the 9/11 Miles of Remembrance 5K on September 11th to pay tribute to the heroes who lost their lives during the tragic terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. The free event aims to create an inclusive environment, embracing participants of all physical abilities, ages, and backgrounds.

"We invite individuals and families from all corners of the Treasure Valley to come together, strengthen the bonds of our community, and share in a collective expression of remembrance," said, Dan Nelson, Program Director at Mission43. “Whether you're an avid runner, a casual walker, or riding a handcycle, the 5K route along the scenic Boise River Greenbelt welcomes everyone.”

Founded on the belief that veterans and their families continue to have a tremendous impact on our communities even after their military service, Mission43 empowers them through education, employment, and other opportunities to help them thrive in civilian life. The organization's commitment to service extends to organizing events commemorating pivotal moments in history, such as the "9/11 Miles of Remembrance Run."

The event kicks off at 5:00 pm with an inspiring opening ceremony. As the sun sets over the Boise River, participants can relish the post-event camaraderie in the social area at the start and finish line. The event includes food, beer, music, and entertainment for all ages.
