Dozens of people laced up their running shoes for the second annual Tunnel to Towers 5K at the Jacksonville Landing Saturday. Action News Jax Family Focus sponsored the race, which honors the heroes who lost their lives in the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Some first responders, including retired firefighter Jack Oehem, ran the race in full gear. He has 32 years of dedicated service under his belt. Oehm was a battalion chief with the New York City Fire Department at the time of the 9/11 attacks.
