International Leadership of Texas invites students, families, staff and community members to participate in the 2026 9/11 Heroes Run on Saturday, September 12.

This year’s event marks the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. Guided by our commitment to “Others Before Self,” Team ILTexas will join communities across the nation to honor those who lost their lives, recognize the heroes who answered the call and support all who have served our country in the years since.

The event also reflects our focus on developing a healthy mind, body and character. Whether you run, walk or volunteer, this is an opportunity to come together in remembrance, reflection and service.
