Participants and supporters should arrive around 7:45 a.m. to get checked in and registered. At 8:15 a.m., an opening ceremony will be held with the National Anthem, bag pipe intro by Palm Coast Firefighter Lieutenant Patrick Juliano, speeches from local elected officials and students from Flagler County Schools and much more.

Each participant will climb up 10 flights of stairs, 11 times honoring the 110 flights of stairs of the World Trade Center. Up counts - down does not. At the end of the stairwell, participants will receive a punch on their badge indicating that the completed one flight. Each participant will be given tokens with faces of fallen heroes to carry all 110 flights. At the end of 110, each token will be placed on an American Flag in honor of their heroism on that tragic day.
