New Firefighter Race:

In an effort to increase firefighter participation, and create a more "Firefighter Friendly" event the firefighter portion of Tackle the Tower has been changed.  Instead of climbing all 37 stories, this year firefighters will race up to the 22nd floor, walk/run across the floor to a second stairwell, and descend 22 floors down to the main lobby.  The firefighter race will begin promptly at 10:30 am - and prizes will be awarded for the top 3 finishers. 

Race Day Registrants - Will start after the LAST pre-registered runner - please check the start times when they are posted so you have an idea of when you may start.

This is a staggered start race - please check below for your individual offset time which is added to 9:00AM to get your starting time. Start times will be posted on February 5th.
