Event Information
Saturday, April 9th, 2011
Join us for one of the most unique events in Greenville. On April 9th, 2011 hundreds of people will huff and puff their way up all 30 floors of One and Two Liberty Square. This is more than your same old 5K; this event challenges you to scale two whole building!! Whether climbing for a winning time or simply to cross the finish line in honor or in memory of someone with lung disease, this event is a great way to challenge yourself physically. We guarantee that all finishers will discover a new-found respect for healthy lungs!

Team Overview:
Why climb alone? Forming a stairclimb team is a fun way to share this event with family, friends and co-workers. Your team will support each other as you train, fundraise and complete the event together. When you all reach the end, the celebration will be all the more sweet. You can form a corporate team or a family team for this event. You can easily manage your team's progress from your team's personal webpage.
Corporate Teams:
Corporate teams are a fantastic way to engage your employees in an activity that promotes healthy living as well as serves a good cause. This is a great way to encourage team building within your employees. Everyone will feel a huge sense of accomplishment when they reach the finish line at and raise money for the American Lung Association.
Corporate Team Benefits include:
1) Special delivery of all team participant climb packets to team captain before event day.
2) Coordinated start times so all team members can climb together.
3) Opportunity to design special "team" shirts or costumes to wear on event day.
4) The unbeatable support from your fellow team members as you climb up 30 Floors!!!
5) Fundraising coaching and support from Lung Association staff every step of the way.
EVENT DAY:
Please arrive at least a half-hour prior to your start time in order to register and get your bib and timing chip. Registration is behind Liberty One on Elford Street.
Check-in begins at 8:30am. The climb actually begins at 9:30 am and bib numbers will be assigned with start times in 15-30 second intervals.
Your timing chip will coincide with your start time and bib number, which will be distributed to you the morning of the event at the "Bib & Timing Chip Table" in the courtyard (unless otherwise requested by your team for early pickup.) YOUR BIB NUMBER MUST BE DISPLAYED AT ALL TIMES DURING THE EVENT. (Individuals are responsible for returning their Timing Chips. Unreturned chips will cost the participant $30!)
All climbers should be in numerical bib order prior to your start time. Line monitors will assist you. Climbers will proceed in 15-30 second intervals. While climbing, if you notice that you are "faster" than other participants, please PASS TO THE LEFT OF THOSE PARTICIPANTS.
You may run, you may walk, but please don't crawl! Please remember that Liberty One and Two Square are office buildings. If you must exit in case of an emergency or you are unable to complete the climb, please seek security, volunteer or medical staff for assistance to be properly escorted.

TRAINING/PREPARATION:
The climb consists of 30 stories of stairs. Training in a safe, well ventilated stairwell is ideal. Utilizing a stair master at your gym is another alternative. Pacing yourself during the stair climb is key to successful completion. At least two days before the event, drink plenty of water and continue hydrating throughout the climb. Water stations will be strategically placed in the stairwells during the event so that you will stay hydrated. There will be medical volunteers and security on designated stairwells for your safety and convenience. If you notice that are “faster” than other participants, please PASS TO THE OUTSIDE. You may bring a heart rate monitor if you wish to use it for this event. Further training information and schedules available upon request.
It is suggested that you wear comfortable clothing, appropriate for an intense cardio workout. Proper shoes are essential. Running, walking, or cross training shoes are key to a successful climb. Don’t forget your team pride and spirit!
