Tunnel to Towers runners take their places in Cape Henlopen

(CAPE HENLOPEN, Del) – Runners from multiple states were up at the crack of dawn Saturday morning to take part in the Delmarva Tunnel to Towers 5K.

The annual tradition at Cape Henlopen brought hundreds of runners from multiple states together to honor the memory of firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice in the September 11th attacks.

Former Delaware Lieutenant Governor, Bethany Hall Long spoke to participants about what this annual run means to a lot of people.

“First responders and military are so amazing. And so I’m honored to be here today as a veteran’s wife and military wife to uplift others, because, again, it’s for our military and other wonderful, providers of service,” says Hall Long.
