FAQ's

​

1. Do I have to climb all the stairs?

- Nope!  Support is more important than completing the challenge, we have many people do a few flights and encourage others.

​

2. How old do you have to be to participate?

- We have had people from ages 6-60 complete the challenge, and many more participate and do a few flights

​

3. How hard is the challenge?

- Easier than you think, in the past years we average 45 minutes from start to finish

​

4. Is it a competition?

- No it's not, but that said, we do have a few competitive folks that may challenge each other, and there's enough room for everyone

​

5. What if it's too hot?

- We will have plenty of water, in past years we have successfully dealt with the heat with no problems

​

6. What if it rains?

- We still climb (unless there's thunder and/or lightning), last year we had a slight rain fall and actually made it a nice temperature, but not slippery

​

7.  What if I get hurt?

- Fortunately we have not had any issues in the past, but just in case we have trained medical staff (including firefighters) there on the scene!

​

8.  How can I help?

- Most importantly, invite folks and make it a fun event.  Donations are also important and help us reach our goal.  Please be generous with your donations and sharing on social media to help us reach our goal.

​

9. What time does it start?

- 2:30 EST sharp, but we ask everyone to get there by 2pm because it takes time to coordinate and we will do an opening announcement and the national anthem

​

10. What shoes should I wear

- wear work out clothes, and running shoes that have good traction, you will be climbing up and down metal stadium bleachers.
