TUNNEL TO THE TOWERS 2019, ONCE AGAIN CROTON WAS THERE, NY NEWSDAY

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

TUNNEL TO THE TOWERS 2019, CROTON WAS THERE, NY NEWSDAY: Race honors those who made 'ultimate sacrifice' on 9/11--For some dressed in full firefighter gear, the 3.2-mile annual Tunnel to Towers race was a chance to retrace the steps of Stephen Siller, a New York City firefighter and former Rockville Centre resident, who ran through the tunnel on Sept. 11, 2001, to the towers wearing 60 pounds of equipment. He died that day.

“We’re a little dirty, we’re a little sweaty, but you gotta support the brothers,” Lt. Dan Bennett, 36, a volunteer firefighter from Croton-on-Hudson, said after passing the finish line. Bennett came with about 15 firefighters from Westchester and New Jersey who wore their gear because that’s what Siller did.
