RUN TO REMEMBER LOS ANGELES
**POSTPONED TO 2023 (DATE TBD)**
All registered runners have been sent an email with details
The 5th Annual Run To Remember Los Angeles 9.11 Mile, 5k & 10k, originally scheduled for September 13th, 2020 at the Westfield Century City Mall, will now be a virtual event due the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Those who have already registered for this year’s event will receive a participant t-shirt, medal, challenge coin and a complimentary entry to our next in-person event tentatively scheduled for September 11, 2021. By doing a virtual event we will all be able to come together to honor, at a distance the memories of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on 9/11.
Virtual events have grown in popularity recently and especially in 2020, with many in-person running events making the switch to an online platform so participants can still finish the race while observing social distancing. Participants register, run the prescribed distance at the location of their choice and submit their results online.
Additional details will be emailed to current registrants in the coming weeks.
There are limited spots available for those still wishing to participate virtually this year, while also receiving a complimentary entry to our 2021 race.
******
Run to Remember Los Angeles is a 5k, 10k, 9.11 mile run, or Murph Challenge in honor of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending our Great Nation on 9/11 and every day since.

The 9.11 Mile 1st Responder Challenge
The 1st Responder Challenge began with the Boston’s Run To Remember. Each year departments from across the globe field teams of 5 or more runners who compete for a cash prize to their own favorite charity. It was this challenge that lead the LAPD to invite the Boston team to produce the inaugural LA race in 2016.
THE CHALLENGE
Field a team of 5 or more runners to complete as a team in the 9.11 mile run. All runners must be sworn first responders on race day.
Your team's 5 members race times will be averaged to determine your team score
The fastest teams in each category will receive a cash donation to a charity of their choosing or use it within their department to better serve the community.
Murph Challenge
Michael Patrick "Murph" Murphy (May 7, 1976 – June 28, 2005) was a United States Navy SEAL officer who was awarded the U.S. military's highest decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his actions during the War in Afghanistan. He was the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War. His other posthumous awards include the Silver Star Medal (which was later upgraded to the Medal of Honor) and the Purple Heart.
A workout named "Murph" was created in Michael's honor and is often performed at CrossFit affiliates, military bases, and Navy ships across the globe. The workout consists of a one mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 air squats, and a final one mile run. The pull-ups, push-ups, and air squats can be partitioned and scaled as needed.
Participants will be required to wear a 20lb body vest (male), 14lb body vest (female). This workout was one of Murphy's favorites. He called it "Body Armor" but it was later renamed “Murph” in his honor.
