Do I HAVE to climb 110 Floors to be a participant?
Do I HAVE to climb 110 Floors to be a participant?
We highly encourage that all participants TRY to complete the entire climb. The point of 110 floor climbs across the country is to honor the fallen heroes of 9/11 and complete the climb they so courageously began. The World Trade Center Twin Towers are 110 floor structures. We do this to pay tribute to their sacrifice. Prepare and attire yourself appropriately to complete this goal. However, if any participant is unable to climb the remaining staircases that is okay. What is important is that each participant truly gives it their all and is holding a strong tribute to our fallen heroes of 9/11. We encourage all to come out and participate and just do the best they can and are able to.

Yes! Many of our first responders will be in gear during the climb. SCBA's are also allowed and encouraged if able as some will be momentarily setting off the distress (PASS) devices during specific times representing events of 9/11. Gear although is NOT required! We encourage any and all first responders to participate in whatever attire they are comfortable to do so in to complete the climb. What is most important is that we are THERE representing our brotherhood and paying tribute to our fallen.
