The Salem Fire Protection District has announced plans for its annual 9/11 Memorial Observance.

It will be held in Bryan Memorial Park on Saturday, September 10th.

This year’s event will feature a “Run to Remember” starting at 8:45 AM. The race route will cover a distance equal to the distance climbed to reach victims by firefighters in New York that day in 2001.

Following the “Run to Remember”, Mayor Nick Farley will be delivering the keynote address at 10 AM. Immediately following Mayor Farley’s speech, children may participate in firefighter games till noon.

Anyone wishing to run or walk in the “Run to Remember” may go to the following link to preregister  https://runsignup.com/Race/IL/Salem/SFPDRuntoRemember91135Mile?fbclid=IwAR1_QXhOBhwO8JPP2AyvlqUUfMdK6gcOdrHncDfdE2n4a6WQZpOpDymdoUQ
