Description

Do Good, Feel Great! Support lung health by taking the stairs and climbing higher at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Your support helps to fuel the breakthroughs of tomorrow by supporting today’s cutting-edge research, advocacy, and critical education.

Ways to Participate:

• Climber: Tackle the Climb Route (approx. 1400 steps)

• Elite Climber: Take on the Elite Route (approx. 2500 steps)

• Stadium Walker: Participate in the walking course (1 lap equals approx. ¼ mile)

• Climb Your Way: Participate virtually and choose when and how you want to “Climb” (run, walk, swim, bike, etc.)

• Volunteer: Volunteer your time and energy to support those living with lung disease. Register for free.

Participants will race, run, or walk to complete the stair climbing challenge and raise funds for education, advocacy, and research around lung cancer and lung disease. Additionally, the Lung Association provides support and resources around tobacco use and clean air.

What's Needed To Complete

Get ready to have some fun in the sun! Come in your coziest sneakers and comfiest active wear! Water and a light snack will be provided. Volunteers will be given a free volunteer t-shirt, and anyone who raises the fundraising minimum of $100 or more will receive the official event day t-shirt.

Special Requirements

Climbers must be at least 8 years old to participate. Any climber under the age of 18 must climb with an adult (age 18 or older) at all times.

Volunteers must be at least 12 years old. Any volunteer under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult (age 18 or older) at all times.

How It Makes A Difference
