About the Event:
Stair Climb: There were 1,980 steps in the Towers that fell on 9/11. That's 17 times up & down 120 stairs in the Lake Co. Fairgrounds Grandstand. You will be given 17 pennies, dropping off 1 after each lap completed. When your pennies are gone, you are finished! Are you up for the challenge?
1 Mile Non-timed Walk is for those who don't wish to do stairs but still want to participate to honor our 9/11 Heroes.
Participants receive:
* Finisher Medal for FIRST 200 to sign up* Wristband with the name of a 9/11 Hero, a firefighter or police officer who died on 9/11 & for whom you will be climbing or walking. We encourage you to look up your hero & even bring their picture with you.
Who is YOUR First Responder? The list at the TOP (coming soon) matches participants you with the name of the 9/11 Hero for whom you will be climbing. Please research your Hero & print a photo of them to include in our on-site memorial.
Cost: Climb is $30 Adu
