How does the climb work?

All Hustle Chicago stair climb participants are assigned to a 15-minute climb wave and start their individual stair climb within that window. You should plan to arrive and be ready to line up one hour ahead of your assigned climb wave.

You and other climbers assigned to your wave will be allowed to line up at the stairwell entrance approximately 15 minutes prior to your wave time. Climbers are then released into the stairwells in intervals to ensure a safe and regulated event.

The Full Climb sponsored by Omron ranges from 7:00 a.m. until approximately 3:00 p.m.

The Half Climb ranges from 8:00 a.m. until approximately 10:00 a.m.

Event capacity is limited and there will be a longer release time between climbers.
