The American Lung Association of Arizona has announced that it will partner with the Arizona Diamondbacks to move its annual "Fight For Air Climb" to Chase Field for the first time on Saturday, March 27th.
The event typically takes place in the stairwells at CityScape, but has been reimagined as this new challenge to keep participants, staff, and volunteers safe.
The event is open to all individuals, families, groups of friends, corporate teams and first responders to tackle the famed stadium stairs. For those looking for an extreme experience, the event offers an upper deck climb, where participants climb the steep upper deck stairs after they've tackled the lower deck stairs. There's also a "Climb Your Way" option for those who can't make it to the physical event.
"Without missing a beat, we are headed outdoors, onward and upward for our Fight For Air Climb," noted Elizabeth Walton, executive director of the Lung Association in Arizona, in a press release. "There is great interest in the event and the rare opportunity to climb in Chase Field.
"During this time, it is more important than ever to support lung health, so on March 27th, we are climbing to bring an end COVID-19, lung cancer and lung disease, and ensure healthy air for all."
Masks will be required and social distancing will be practiced.
Registration for the Fight For Air Climb is $35 and includes a $100 fundraising minimum. For more information, and to register, visit FightForAirClimb.org/Phoenix.
