Once again, runners from Rockville Centre will participate in the Tunnel to Towers Run/Walk on Sept. 27, hosted by The Stephen Siller, FDNY ‘Let Us Do Good” Children’s Foundation.

Even though Jones Beach is one of the most popular beaches on Long Island, it’s a bit out of the way — about a 15-minute drive from the beach to just about anything ... except more beach.
