Stairs4RTroops 2026 at Gillette Stadium

Stairs4RTroops at Gillette Stadium is a stair climb event held on October 25, 2026 at Gillette Stadium, 1 Patriot Place, Foxboro, MA 02035. The activity consists of walking, jogging or climbing around the lower bowl of the stadium while music plays and Patriot highlights are shown on the big screen.

Net proceeds from the event are donated to Homes for Our Troops, an organization that builds homes for severely injured veterans. Registration opens on June 1, 2026 and closes on October 25, 2026. Registration fees are listed as $40 per adult and $15 for children under 18. Waves of participants start at regular intervals, running every 15 or 30 minutes, and the program includes a dedicated Firefighter wave.

Event operations include on-site audio and video elements for participants and spectators. The event offers a spectator registration option. The first 1,000 registered participants receive an event t-shirt. The format places participants on stadium stairs and lower sections rather than a road course, concentrating activity within the stadium bowl and adjacent seating areas.

This description reflects the event format, location, charitable beneficiary, registration timing and fees, wave structure, and the participant t-shirt distribution. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
