The 33rd YCMA Stair Climb & Urban Hike takes place in Los Angeles on 09/25/2026 at 633 W 5th St, Los Angeles, CA 90071. The event offers multiple participation options, including a stair climb at the U.S. Bank Tower, a Heroes Challenge full gear category, an Urban Hike route, and a virtual option.
The listed registration fee is $155. The stair climb at the U.S. Bank Tower uses the building stairwell that reaches 1,005 feet and includes 1,664 steps across 75 stories. Up to 4,000 participants take part in the climb, racing or walking to the top and then returning by elevator to Maguire Gardens, where a block party features food, activities, music, and a beer garden. The Urban Hike begins and ends at the same location and follows a route that passes cultural landmarks such as MOCA, The Broad, Disney Concert Hall, and The Grand LA.
The event description distinguishes on-site options from the virtual option, and notes the presence of community activities at the post-event gathering in the gardens. Details such as registration windows are provided for each category, and the event presents multiple ways to participate on the same day, whether on-site or remotely.
