Fission Strategy is proud to have developed the web platform for the Travis Manion Foundation and their 9/11 Heroes Run, which took place on September 11, 2011.

The 5k run was to “honor the fallen by challenging the living,” bringing communities together to remember the sacrifices of all the heroes of September 11, including veterans, first responders, and civilians.

Through the web platform the event attracted 15,000 runners, 35,000 spectators, and 1,500 volunteers in 29 cities across the U.S.

Eight events were also held internationally. With Fission’s site building expertise, races could easily be located, volunteers could access information, and supporters and runners alike could share their support via Facebook and Twitter.
