The Carolina community commemorates the 20th anniversary of 9/11

Posted Sep 13, 2021
Hosted by UNC’s Army ROTC, the 9/11 Memorial Run has become a yearly tradition in Kenan Stadium. During the early morning event, participants climbed 2,076 steps — the total number of stairs in the World Trade Center towers. Seeing the first responders and community members was motivating for Lt. Col. Daniel Hurd, a professor of military science. (UNC.edu)
