9/11 Stair Climb - Crown Pont, IN

The event centers around a stair climb at Lake County Fairgrounds to honor heroes of 9/11. Participants emulate the 1,980 steps climbed by first responders, using pennies to track their laps. A non-timed walk option for those honoring 9/11 heroes without taking the stairs is available, both including a finisher medal. Participants receive the name of a fallen firefighter or police officer to climb for. The event supports local police and emergency services by raising funds for essential equipment. A Plank Challenge offers additional engagement, with prizes available for participants.
