2021 Virtual Event

Yes. Trek Up the Tower supports The Wellbeing Partners, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to worksite wellness. Registration fees help cover the cost of the event and support The Wellbeing Partners mission. A portion of the entry fee is tax deductible.

Held across the globe, vertical stair climbs are rising in popularity. Like Trek Up the Tower, many take place within a skyscraper; some are held outdoors in stadiums and even up ski slopes. They are a creative way to test your endurance and participate in a community wellness event.

The First National Tower consists of 40 floors and 870 steps. The tower extends 633 feet into the sky and is the tallest building between Denver and Chicago.

There are several opportunities to sponsor Trek Up the Tower. To learn more, please contact info@thewellbeingpartners.org.

Both. Corporate and community teams are encouraged, but you also can participate as an individual.

This category is for Trekkers looking for the ultimate challenge. Participants will complete the tower 10 and 1/3 times or one vertical mile! In 2021, the Vertical Mile will be self-reported but more vigorously tracked, and must be completed on stairs during a single day. A finisher’s prize will be provided to any who complete the challenge, and rankings given following the event period.

Trek Up the Tower is open to the public.

There are no refunds for this event.

There are a couple of options for registration so that participants can choose the best option for themselves. All registrants will receive access to the Trek Challenge through the platform and raffle opportunities. The registration level will define if participants also receive a commemorative t-shirt, a finisher’s prize, or access to the Vertical Mile challenge.
