Big Climb Wisconsin
Big Climb Wisconsin is a stadium stair climb held in Madison, Wisconsin, starting at 1440 Monroe Street. Participants assemble at Base Camp prior to their scheduled Climb Time wave, where activities are available before the climbing begins. The Stadium Climb takes place from morning into early afternoon, with an Opening Ceremony to set the tone before participants begin the course. This event differs from a typical road race, guiding climbers through stadium stairs, ramps, and concourses rather than along streets. Route markers direct participants through the stadium, and volunteers and music provide encouragement during challenging sections. The event benefits the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, with participants encouraged to climb in support of patients and survivors. The names and images of patients and survivors are displayed along the route, reinforcing the fundraising objective throughout the climb. Upon completion, finishers receive medals recognizing their personal achievement and their support for those impacted by blood cancer.
