WHAT IS A TUNNEL TO TOWERS CLIMB? The TUNNEL TO TOWERS CLIMB SERIES
WAS CREATED TO HONOR THE HEROIC LIFE AND DEATH OF STEPHEN SILLER, a
New York City firefighter (FDNY) who lost his life on September 11,
2001 after strapping on his gear and running through the Brooklyn
Battery TUNNEL TO THE TWIN TOWERS. Honor all of those who lost their
lives on September 11, 2001 and support our first responders and
military who make extraordinary sacrifices in the line of duty! For
more information on the Stephen Siller TUNNEL TO TOWERS FOUNDATION
PLEASE VISIT T2T.org [http://t2t.org [http://t2t.org]]. HOW FAR IS A
TUNNEL TO TOWERS CLIMB ? A T2T climb attempts to have participants
ascend the same number of floors as were in the Twin Towers, which
were at 110 floors. This is not a requirement and many of our climbs
only reach 60 - 70 floors. As this event is in Johnny Unitas Stadium,
participants will need to complete five stair sections (laps) of the
bleachers of the north concourse. WHAT IS THE BEST TIME TO REGISTER?
The best time to register is always RIGHT NOW. Registration is tied to
a price tiering system where the price increases occur one week after
