Stairs4RTroops - Gillette Stadium

The 12th annual Stairs4RTroops is a stadium stair-climb event held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA. Participants run or walk in the stadium lower bowl, covering about 36 sections and an estimated 5,184 steps; stair counts vary because some sections include two sets of 72 stairs and a few sections do not have full sets.

All net proceeds from the event are donated to Homes For Our Troops, a publicly funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit that builds and donates specially adapted custom homes for severely injured post-9/11 veterans. Homes For Our Troops has built over 380 homes in 45 states since 2004.

Registration options include individual and team entries; advance registration is encouraged and same-day sign-up is available. Published registration rates list adults and children at separate fees and a spectator fee is determined separately. Participants may create fundraising pages and there are prizes for top fundraising individuals and teams. One wave is designated for firefighters but is open to the public; waves run at regular intervals.

Event features include an opening ceremony with a keynote speaker, event T-shirts in sizes S through 2XL, concession stands inside the stadium, and water stations on the course. Spectators must register and volunteers are invited to register through the event platform. The Bob Woodruff Foundation serves as a title sponsor.
