Fort Hays State University, the Tiger Fitness Center, and local first responders will host the third-annual 9/11 Memorial Event and Stair Climb on Saturday. The event, held at Lewis Field on the campus of Fort Hays State University, begins at 7:46 a.m.
All ages are welcome at the event, with a brief memorial ceremony taking place ahead of the stair climb or walk. The memorial will highlight the sacrifices of first responders who put others first during the 9/11 attacks at the World Trade Center, Pentagon and on Flight 93.
Participants are encouraged to attend the memorial event and participate in as much, or as little of the stair climb or walk as preferred to honor first responders and reflect on the events from Sept. 11, 2001.
The FHSU track will be open and available for participants who do not wish to climb stairs.
Check-in begins at 7 a.m., with the official start time aligning with the moment the first tower was struck at 7:46 CST.
