41st Annual Tower Climb & Run

After 40 incredible years at the Tower of the Americas, our iconic event is moving to a new temporary location for 2026 due to scheduled renovations at the Tower.
While we'll miss racing up those 952 steps, this change opens the door to a fresh and exciting experience - one that still honors our tradition of climbing for a cure and raising critical funds to support the mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
We can't wait to unveil the new venue soon and promise an unforgettable day filled with energy, community, and purpose. Stay tuned - more details are coming your way!
Thank you for continuing to climb with us. Because of your support, we're reaching new heights in the fight against cystic fibrosis.
