Join the Alabama 250 Coalition for Steps of Honor: 9/11 Memorial Step Challenge on September 11, 2026, at Weaver Stadium in Weaver, Alabama.
Together, participants will take 2,977 steps in honor of the 2,977 lives lost on September 11, 2001. Each step is an opportunity to remember those we lost, honor their lives, and reflect on the courage and sacrifice shown that day.
Come out when you can on Friday, 9/1/2026. It’s not abut the number of steps you complete, It’s not about climbing the stairs, It’s about recognizing the sacrifice of our first responders and honoring the lives that were lost.
This community event is open to all ages and brings us together in remembrance, unity, and honor.
Date: September 11, 2026 9:11am-5:00pm
