This Time, Next Year

On the final Sunday of every September since 2010, it has been my privilege and pleasure to be among the runners and walkers assembled on the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel for the Siller Foundation's New York City Tunnel to Towers 5K. Every final Sunday of September since 2010, except for this one. COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the 2020 NYC T2T 5K, which means that it also cancelled the annual pilgrimage the Missus and I make into lower Manhattan as part of our celebration of this annual event, which pilgrimage includes a trip to the National September 11 Memorial and a trip to O'Hara's.

I am already looking forward to September 2021's final weekend, which I hope to spend in lower Manhattan as part of the 20th Anniversary New York City Tunnel to Towers 5K. The Siller Family does simply extraordinary work on behalf of this nation's first responders and the men and women of our military that is truly is my privilege to play my very small part. As I look forward to 2021, I thought it might be fun today to take a quick glimpse at a decade's worth of Tunnel to Towers weekends.
