The Meridian Athletic Club will host its inaugural 9/11 Stair Climb at the Arts District Parking Garage Monday, with a dedication/community prayer at 5:30 p.m. and the event kicking off at 6 p.m.

Participants of all ages and fitness levels are invited to climb a total of 110 flights, which is the height of the World Trade Center Towers. There will be competitive heats for those wanting to race, and non-competitive heats for those wanting to walk the climb solo, or with family and friends. 

Participants are asked to bring a minimum of $5 donate, and 100 percent of the proceeds will go toward the needs of first responders and/or their families in the Meridian area during times of need.

The event will open at 5:15 p.m. Monday, with registration beginning at 5:30 p.m. on the rooftop of the parking garage. You can also pre-register at https://form.jotform.us/72468030384153.
