9/11 Memorial Stair Climb

Harper College Campus Recreation and the Center for Student Veterans and Military-Connected Students invite you to participate in the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb at the Foglia Foundation Health and Recreation Center (Building M) on Friday, September 11. Three Life Fitness PowerMill Climbers are reserved for this event between 5:30a.m. and 8 p.m. Participants are encouraged to climb 110 floors (or less) the equivalent of the 110 stories of the World Trade Center, in honor and remembrance of the 343 FDNY firefighters who lost their lives.

  • Guests, 18 and over, are welcome to participate in the climb. Stop at the Rec Center Welcome Desk with a photo ID, sign a guest waiver, and the single-entry fee will be waived. Parking is available in Lot 1.
  • Participants should allow approximately 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the number of floors attempted and steps per minute.
  • Always consult a qualified healthcare provider before starting any exercise program or attempting an event such as the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb.
  • On Life Fitness PowerMill Climbers, select either QUICK START or CHOOSE WORKOUT. If you use CHOOSE WORKOUT, select Goal Workout & Tests > Climb > Set Up Workout and set your floor goal.
  • After your climb, record your name, number of floors, and time it took to complete the floors, so we can combine all climbers for an end-of-day total, allowing our Harper College community to come together in remembrance and honor.

The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb is sponsored by the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation, helping honor the lives and sacrifices of the firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Join us as we climb, remember, and honor.
