22 years after the devastating Sept. 11 attacks, Colorado communities continue to come together to memorialize the fallen and honor those who worked to save lives.
Here are the events happening in the Denver area marking the Sept. 11 anniversary Monday:
Denver
The Denver 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb will take place 9 a.m. on Sept. 11 at 1801 California Street. Unfortunately, registration is already closed on the Denver Stair Climb site. Attendees will climb the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center.
The annual 9/11 Heroes Run will begin at 7:30 a.m. Sunday at the Great Lawn Park/Kelly Open Space in Denver. Anyone can sign up and participate in the memorial 5k for $35.

Gov. Jared Polis and Denver Mayor Mike Johnston, in partnership with The Denver Post and the Counterterrorism Education Learning Lab, are hosting Colorado Remembers 9/11 at 6 p.m. Monday at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, 1385 Curtis Street, Denver.
The commemoration will pay respects to the lives lost. After the commemoration, there will be an educational forum about U.S. security featuring 66th Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former NATO Commander James Stavridis and National Security Advisor Peter Bergen.
