The Capital Memorial Stair Climb is not a race, but rather a tribute honoring the sacrifices of fallen heroes - both near and far. Join us on September 13th, 2026 at Empire State Plaza and help support climbers as they climb 110 stories (55 up and 55 down) wearing the name and photo of a hero who made the ultimate sacrifice that day.

Fulfilling a promise to "NEVER FORGET" their brothers and sisters who have died in the line of duty, 343 firefighters, 60 law enforcement officers and 8 EMTs (the number of firefighters/law enforcement/EMTs that perished at Ground Zero with the collapse of the Twin Towers) climb 110 floors.

Most climbers wear their personal protective equipment.
