ALEXANDRIA, Va. — U.S. Air Force Capt. Hanna Born, who is running one mile for each of the 2,977 people killed on Sept. 11, 2001, will serve as grand marshal of the 51st Alexandria Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, the Del Ray Business Association announced.

Born, an Alexandria native, was a toddler in the Pentagon Child Development Center with her infant sister when American Airlines Flight 77 struck the building. The association describes her as one of the youngest survivors of the attack.

She ran the first mile of her Run to Remember 2,977 project on Sept. 11, 2025, alongside members of her squadron at Fort Rucker, Alabama. With each mile she names one person killed in the attacks and shares their story on her @runtoremember2977 account.
