A memorial stair climb for 9/11 first responders. September 5. Two laps of the bleachers or four of the track.
The Rio Grande City 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is more than a physical challenge. It is a tribute to the courage and sacrifice of the first responders who answered the call on September 11, 2001.
The climb represents the same number of steps firefighters and other first responders climbed inside the World Trade Center as they worked to save lives.
Participants can complete the challenge two ways: two laps around the stadium bleachers, or four laps around the track.
