Come join us in the 2026 Outer Banks 9/11 Memorial Walk

Dare County EMS and the Kill Devil Hills Fire Department will host its annual March to Remember September 11 on Friday, September 11, 2026, inviting members of the public to join emergency responders in honoring the lives lost and the sacrifices made on September 11, 2001.

The march will begin promptly at 8:46 a.m., the time when American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center.

Registration will begin at 7 a.m. at Dare County EMS Station 1/Kill Devil Hills Fire Department Station 14, located at 1628 N. Croatan Highway in Kill Devil Hills. Attendees are encouraged to park at Meekins Park or the Dare Centre and walk to the station, which serves as the starting point for the walk. Light refreshments, generously donated for the event, will be available for attendees.

Participants will then walk approximately two miles to the Wright Brothers National Memorial, where they will pause to remember and honor those who lost their lives, as well as the first responders and ordinary citizens who demonstrated extraordinary courage and sacrifice in the aftermath of the attacks.

The round trip from Dare County EMS Station 1 to the monument at the Wright Brothers National Memorial and back is approximately four miles and takes 90 minutes. Participants should hydrate before beginning the walk and ensure they are physically able to walk the distance. Because September weather can be warm, attendees are encouraged to dress comfortably, wear appropriate footwear and bring water. Participants are also encouraged to wear something meaningful to honor those who gave all.

Dare County EMS encourages community members of all ages to participate to join this annual tradition of remembrance.
