San Antonio – San Antonio 110 has announced that its annual 9/11 Memorial Climb will be held at the Alamodome on September 11, 2025. This venue change marks a significant shift from the previous location at the Tower of Americas, which is currently undergoing renovations. The event has become one of the largest 9/11 Memorial climbs in the world over the past 13 years, drawing participants from across the United States.
In 2025, the climb will honor the lives lost during the tragic events of September 11, 2001, nearly 24 years ago. It will serve as a tribute to the 344 firefighters who lost their lives that day and will also pay respects to 70 fallen law enforcement officers and 9 Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel. The event is expected to witness participation from over 100 different agencies, with approximately 600 first responders from Texas and beyond anticipated to engage in the climb.
The climbing event is open to all comers, including first responders, military personnel, and civilians, providing an opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to come together in remembrance. Registration for those wishing to participate will begin on July 1 of the event year. Participants are often seen wearing tags around their necks bearing the names of fallen colleagues, symbolizing the ongoing connection to those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
As part of the event’s solemn proceedings, a moment of silence will be observed, accompanied by the ringing of a bell to honor the deceased. This year’s decision to relocate the event comes in response to the necessary renovations at its previous venue—an adjustment that aims to accommodate the growing number of participants and ensure a respectful atmosphere for remembrance.
Dawn Solinski, founder and director of San Antonio 110, expressed gratitude toward the city and staff at the Alamodome for their support in facilitating this significant event. The climb not only serves to honor the past but also creates a sense of community among participants, allowing them to connect with the history and sacrifice of the nation’s first responders.
This significant memorial climb serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring those who placed their lives on the line in service to their communities and the nation. The event aims to instill a sense of solidarity among participants, helping them reflect on the bravery and sacrifices made by first responders during one of the most challenging days in U.S. history.
The choice of the Alamodome as the new venue for the climb represents a commitment to preserving the memory of those lost while also adapting to changing circumstances. As preparations begin, the San Antonio community and beyond look forward to coming together to pay tribute to heroes on a day of reflection and remembrance.
In conclusion, the San Antonio 110’s 9/11 Memorial Climb remains an important event for first responders and citizens alike, serving as a poignant reminder of bravery, sacrifice, and the enduring legacy of those who have fallen in the line of duty.
