About the 9/11 Run to Remember

The race starts and finishes at a permanent 9/11 memorial in Clovis, said to be the largest of its kind outside New York City. The morning opens with a ceremony and the national anthem before runners set off, so the start has more weight to it than most local races. The atmosphere is solemn and deliberate, shaped by the site itself.

Parking across the street from the memorial is free, and volunteers are stationed to guide people in. Packet pickup is available the evening before at the Clovis Rodeo Grounds, with a second pickup window early on race morning for those who cannot make the prior-evening session.

Common Questions About the 9/11 Run to Remember

Will I finish last at the 9/11 Run to Remember?

Almost certainly not. Half the 3.1 Miles field finished slower than 34:03, and the last recorded finisher came in around 57:44, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the 9/11 Run to Remember a good first 3.1 Miles?

A field of 501 is big enough that you will have company at your pace without feeling lost in a crowd. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 3.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the 9/11 Run to Remember?

The 3.1 Miles winner ran 16:00 while the median finisher took 34:03. That spread points to a broad, mostly recreational field rather than a race dominated by club runners.
