The conversation revolves around the Tunnel to Towers 5K Run and Walk event in Portland, Maine, which honors fallen first responders and raises funds for various programs. Ralph Munroe, a volunteer for 45 years, organized the event, which is in its third year. The event, scheduled for August 29, 2026, at Payson Park, had 299 participants in its first year and 374 last year. The foundation supports Gold Star families, injured first responders, and homeless veterans, with 93% of funds going directly to the cause. Local sponsors include RCM Radio, Great Falls Construction, GMC, Poland Spring Water, and Shipyard Brewing.
