This fall Runner's World is planning a special feature commemorating the 5th anniversary of 9-11 and how the sport of running was a part of many of the lives who perished that day-as well as for those who survived the tragedy. In preparation for the piece we are looking for stories of runners and how 9-11 became a part of their lives. Perhaps it is a story of a victim who was an avid runner and his/her friends and family launched a run in his/her honor. Perhaps it is a story of a person whose skills as a runner helped to saves lives on that day. Perhaps it is the story of a fireman or policeman who was a runner but also a hero that day.

If you have a story to share with us, please do. Please provide us with a short synopsis of what made this person's story so significant on an everyday level as well as on a running level. Also, please let us know how we can contact you for more details. Email your stories to Charlie Butler at charlie.butler@rodale.com

Thank you for your interest.
