How do my donations help?
With the generous support of people like you, the American Lung Association in Arkansas saves lives by fighting for healthy lungs and healthy air. Today, our fight is more important than ever. Eighty-one cents of every dollar raised by our organization goes directly to education, research and advocacy.
What is a Stairclimb?
Stairclimbs are a new breed of competitive physical events that are growing in popularity around the world. These "vertical marathons" are a great way to challenge you physically.
When is the Little Rock Stairclimb?
The event will take place on April 27, 2013. Check in begins at 8:00 am and the climb starts at 9:00 am.
When do I arrive?
It is imperative that you get there at least 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO YOUR START TIME so you can check-in and get your bib and timing chip in a timely manner before your climb time. (Check-in time begins at 8:00 am, the Climb starts at 9:00 am.)
How do donations work?
All donations not previously turned in can be brought to the event and turned in at the pledge turn-in table in the lobby. Why doesn't my $25 registration fee count towards my fundraising goal? The $25 registration fee helps cover costs of event, such as event t-shirts, free snacks and refreshments, goody-bags, trophies, etc. Participants are asked to fundraise the minimum of $100 per person and are encouraged and challenged to raise more than the minimum. All donations go directly to helping in our fight for clean air and healthy lungs. And remember, all donations are tax deductible!
How do I get there?
Directions/Parking: Please see the "Directions" link for directions to the War Memorial Stadium/AT&T Field. Free parking is available at the War Memorial Stadium/AT&T Field. Registration will be in the concourse near Lot 1. Please follow signs.
Where are the restrooms?
Restrooms are available in concourse area and throughout the stadium. Please follow signs.
Start Line:
Line monitors will assist you at the Start Line. All participants competing competitively must be in numerical order and will go off every 15-seconds.
Can teams do the Climb relay style?
No. All team members must complete the climb from start to finish. No substitutions or relay-style racing will be allowed.
What happens if I need a break or need to exit the stairs early?
Volunteers, security officers and EMT will be stationed accordingly throughout the stadium to ensure your safety. If you need to exit, please find the nearest volunteer and he or she will escort you to a safe place or medical assistance.
How do I pass other climbers in the stairwells?
If you notice that you are "faster" than other participants, please PASS TO THE LEFT OF THOSE PARTICIPANTS. And if you are walking please stay to the right, feel free to use the hand rails.
Where is the water?
Water stations are located in the lobby, in designated locations throughout the route and at the Finish line. Refreshments are available in the lobby. Remember to keep hydrated before, during and after the event.
Can we carry stuff on us while we climb?
I-pods/music devices/heart monitors may be used, but must be worn properly. Cords must be tucked, no loose cords may dangle from your body as could cause injury. (If this is seen, staff, volunteers or security may ask you to remove it for safety reasons.)
What about personal belongings?
The American Lung Association will not be responsible for any items that are lost or stolen. There will be a place to check keys but all other personal items should be left at home or in your car.
Can we carry our things in backpacks during the climb?
There will be no backpacks allowed during the climb. Please leave all unnecessary personal belongings with a non-climber, at home or in your car.
What about safety?
All security procedures must be followed. Security officers and EMT will be stationed accordingly throughout the building and the stairwells to ensure your safety in the building. They will have radio communication in case of any emergency.
How do I view my climbing results?
Official results will be available on our website.
How does timing work?
Every competitive climber is timed, whether you decide to race or just walk. Even if you are on a team, you can still qualify for individual awards. Team times are calculated by the average of your fastest three climbers.
Are there Awards?
Yes. Medals and trophies will be awarded for fastest climbers, top fundraisers and largest teams.
How old do I have to be to climb?
No persons under the age of 12 may participate in the Stairclimb. Participants between the ages of 12 and 16 must climb with a parent or guardian. Participants between the ages of 16-18 must have a parent or guardian on site the day of the event.
