More than two decades after the 9/11 attacks, Utahns are reflecting on the sacrifices made by first responders by participating in a unique run happening in Salt Lake County.

The Tunnel to Towers Run is a 5K run or walk taking place in Midvale on Saturday and will be well attended by Utah's first responders, as well as residents as they honor those who sacrificed everything to save lives."That incident has always been a part of what is going on in my thought process and like everyone else I reflect very frequently on what happened," he told FOX 13 News.

There's also a specific reason why the race is exactly five kilometers. It's to honor NYFD firefighter Steven Siller. Race participants will run with a badge containing the name and photo of a first responder who died on 9/11. While everyone has their own, personal reasons for participating in the event, the common theme among all racers is to support those who selflessly run toward danger every single day on behalf of others.
