25th Anniversary of September 11, 2001
Run for Richie
9/11 Memorial Motorcycle Parade
Richard Allen Pearlman joined the Forest Hills Ambulance Corps at 14 and was 18 when he was lost at the World Trade Center — the youngest first responder to die that day. This NYC-permitted parade is ridden in his honor, and in memory of everyone who served, protected, and volunteered on 9/11.
Hosted by the NYC Punishers Law Enforcement Motorcycle Club for FHVAC. All bikes welcome — sport bikes, trikes, side cars, choppers, anything requiring a DOT motorcycle license.
Pre-registration benefits
- A numbered limited-edition challenge coin — first 411 riders
- Priority parking and a spot at the front of the ride
