Can I create a team with both in-person and virtual climbers?
No, teams must include either all in-person (at Soldier Field) climbers OR all virtual climbers. Any teams mixed between the two options will be altered to reflect this.
I’m a captain registering a team for the virtual climb. Is there anything I need to do differently?
If registering a virtual-only climb team, we ask that you add ‘Virtual’ to the beginning of your team name (i.e., Virtual Stair Steppers).
Does it cost more to climb with a team?
Yes, there is a $125 team fee. This fee guarantees you will climb together, provides digital professional photos, and includes shipping of everyone’s packets to the team captain approximately two weeks before the event. All teams will be entered into a drawing for a $300 Revolution Brewing gift card or a $250 Visa gift card.
Have more than 10 people? Skip the additional team fee(s) by emailing us at hustle@resphealth.org to get a code and waive the fee. Please add ‘2’ or ‘3’ to the end of your team name (i.e., Stair Steppers – 2).
How many people can be on a team?
This year we are limiting team sizes to between 2 and 10 people. No spots will be held for climbers on your team; spots are available first come, first served. Teams must be made up of either only climbers participating in-person at Soldier Field OR only virtual climbers.

How can teams get their registration packets?
Registration packets for all team members will be mailed to the team captain. Team captains are responsible for distributing event materials to team members.
Can our team get a professional photo?
Yes, teams will have a team photo taken on site at the event this year. Make sure to round everyone up for a photo to remember your climb at iconic Soldier Field!
I want to organize a team of coworkers. Are you still offering the Corporate Climb?
Yes! We are again encouraging workplace teams to join us at the 2022 climb. The same team restrictions will apply to Corporate Climb teams. If you’d like more information or want to join us this year as a Corporate Climb team, find more information here. Have questions? Reach out to Alyssa Trybus at atrybus@resphealth.org.
How will you prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep climbers safe?
Please note: Our health and safety policies below have changed based on improvements in COVID-19 positivity rates, increased vaccination rates, and decreases in hospitalizations. We prioritize the safety of all participants and will continue to monitor and follow guidance from Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH), and Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH). This includes any restrictions on the size of in-person gatherings.
- Outdoor event: Hosting the climb in the open air, where COVID-19 spread is known to be less likely, means we can offer a safe experience. In addition, staff at Soldier Field will be onsite and following strict procedures for cleaning and sanitizing, including restroom areas.
- Masks: RHA will follow any local, state, federal, or venue protocols required at the time of the event. There is currently no mask requirement for outdoor events, and they will not be required at Soldier Field. Participants, volunteers, staff, and guests are encouraged to wear a mask in areas at the event where large numbers of people gather – such as the start line, after party, etc.
- Vaccinations: While the 2022 event will not require participants to provide proof of vaccination for entry, we strongly encourage all participants to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. In addition, we recommend all participants take a Covid test within 72 hours of the event and do not participate in case of a positive test.
- Social distancing: Social distancing guidelines will be encouraged throughout the stadium. Each staging area of the climb will have six-foot markers to keep climbers spaced apart, and climbers will only be allowed to start their climb once the individual in front of them reaches a pre-identified marker. Additionally, Soldier Field’s wide common spaces and walkways allow for social distancing – which will also include designed crowd flow patterns to assist in keeping people at an appropriate distance from each another. Restroom areas at Soldier Field will be open throughout the 400 level of the stadium with limited capacity at any given time.
- Event participants, sponsors, vendors, guests, and volunteers who may be experiencing symptoms associated with COVID-19, or who have recently been in contact with a person experiencing symptoms, are asked not to attend the event.
