9/11 Memorial Stair Climb

Leave a comment
  • QIC: NASA
  • When: 09/13/2025
  • Posted In: Pre-Blast

When: Saturday 9/13/2025, 06:00 – completion
Where: Nation Ford High School, Football Stadium
Q: NASA
Why: Do we need a reason?
9/11 is a day nobody will ever forget. Nobody should ever forget. Many lives were lost and America as we knew it was forever changed after that day.

What:
In honor of the 24th anniversary of that fateful, horrible day, we will be doing a 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.

Each of the NYC Twin Towers had 110 stories and 2,070 steps. Looking at the football statdium bleachers at Nation Ford High School (aka Honey Badger, Ring of Fire, and Varsity), there are 6 rows (the larger two-way rows) of steps, each row with approx 34 steps. Going up then down each of the 6 rows gets you 204 steps. Repeat that 10 times +1 more row, you have 2074 steps. We would run all 6 rows 10 times, then add one row to make it 66 rows total. Granted we’d be going up 66 times, down 66 times, but we’d get the total step count in.

Whether you run or walk, it is up to you. Extra credit, modifying up – wear a weighted ruck to simulate the gear the first responders carried up all those steps.
