Much like its participants, the sport of stair climbing is on the rise.
Also known as "towerrunning," the sport has developed both devoted participants and dedicated competitors. But while it has already established a cult-like participant base, the number of new climbers and new races continues to grow each year. That growth has paved the way for the launch of Stair Club Milwaukee—the first stair climbing club in the state—which aims to unite the established climbers within, and the newcomers to, the Wisconsin stair climbing community. Akin to a running club, Stair Club Milwaukee is the first of its kind. The hope of the club is to foster community, opportunity, and improvement for the area’s climbers by providing group training climbs, forming club climb teams at stair races, hosting club events, providing information about upcoming races, and much more. In seeking to serve as home to a collective of those interested in the sport of competitive stair climbing, Stair Club Milwaukee welcomes climbers of varying levels: from avid recreational enthusiasts of the sport to experienced competitive tower runners.
