September 11th National Memorial Trail, also known as the 9/11 Trail, is a network of trails and roadways nearly 1,300 miles (2,100 km) long connecting the Flight 93 National Memorial, the Pentagon Memorial, and the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.[1] It is tribute to those who perished in September 11, 2001 attacks and to those who responded to them.

The dedication was initiated by an act of Congress.[2] President Joe Biden signed H.R. 2278, officially designating the trail route on October 13, 2021.
The triangular-shaped trail - to the sites of the memorials in Arlington, Virginia and New York City, and near Shanksville, Pennsylvania - passes through six Mid-Atlantic states and Washington, D.C.[3] At its inception it incorporated 55% off-road trails and 45% existing roadways.[4] A 1.5 mile purpose built section was added thereafter.
