What is a Tunnel to Towers Climb?
The Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk & Climb Series was created to honor the heroic life and death of StephenSiller, a New York City firefighter (FDNY) who lost his life on September 11, 2001 after strapping on his gear and running through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to the Twin Towers. We honor all of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and support our first responders and military who make extraordinary sacrifices in the line of duty! For more information on the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, please visit t2t.org.

Do I have to climb all the way to the top floor in order to participate in the T2T Tower Climb?
No, this is a challenge by choice event and we are just glad you can join us.
How many bailout locations are there?
There will be several opportunities to bail out at the top of each aisle. Water stations will be available and the start and end points each round, with concessions open in the middle.
Will there be medical assistance if necessary?
There will be medics on the premises in the event of an emergency.
How long does the T2T Tower Climb take?
This depends on how many steps you climb, and on your fitness level, speed and amount of time spent at rest areas. Some of our fastest climbers finish in about 45 minutes but please climb at your own pace.
Is this a timed climb?
Yes, we will have a timing company on site this year to time our climbers.
Can climbers stop on a landing to catch their breath?
Yes, but please try to stop at the top of the aisles in the concourse where there is more room for other climbers to continue around you. Slower climbers should move to the right, allowing faster climbers to pass on the left.
I might get tired and be unable to finish, what should I do?
No problem, this is a challenge by choice event. If you are in need of medical assistance, please ask a volunteer for help.
I want to participate, but I'm not sure if stairs are for me. Can I still participate?
Yes! Participants who do not wish to climb stairs are welcome to walk at one of the designated areas of the stadium as a way of participating as well. The concourse is wheelchair accessible as well.
I’m a first responder; can I wear my bunker/turnout gear, scott packs, etc.?
Yes, you may wear turnout gear. In fact, we encourage it!
Can I bring my cell phone?
Yes!
