2018 Fight For Air Climb - Houston
The Fight For Air Climb is an American Lung Association signature fundraising event. Climbs are held in prominent skyscrapers, giving participants the opportunity to join together with friends, family and co-workers as they climb the stairs of the building to the top! Over the last several years, our Fight For Air Climbs have raised more than $45 million to support the mission of the American Lung Association.
More than 30,000 participants from 52 Climb events across the country came together last year to raise more than $8.3 million. This year, you can raise money to support research, patient education and advocacy efforts.
The Fight For Air Climbs vary in the number of flights and stairs to climb, but each event offers an opportunity for teams and individuals to challenge themselves. Whether you are climbing as a part of a healthy lifestyle, to beat your previous time or in honor of all those who are affected by lung disease, you will achieve a sense of personal accomplishment as you reach the top of the building and the height of your fundraising potential. Every step you take moves us forward in our fight for healthy lungs and clean air.

Training & Resources
Step Up to the Challenge! The Fight For Air Climb is a great way to challenge yourself physically. Different from other events, the Fight For Air Climb is a vertical road race to reach the top. Stairclimbing is a great sport that improves the fitness level of each participant and burns more calories than walking or running. To climb successfully, the American Lung Association strongly urges all participants to train before embarking on the ascent.
From experienced athletes to first time stair climbers, the Fight For Air Climb is a challenge that everyone can step up and meet!
Like with any athletic activity, you need to find the elements that work for you. To help get you started, here are some tips:
- If you are new to climbing stairs, then start slow and build up your tempo.
- To reduce the risk of injury, place your entire foot on the stair each time.
- Experiment with climbing techniques. Check out our climb training guide here. For example, some climbers prefer to keep their arms by their sides, while others prefer to use the handrails. You can climb one or two steps at a time, depending on your comfort level. Use your training climbs to find what works for you.
- Consider a light snack before the climb begins. This will help you maintain your energy level without feeling sick.
- Post Climb take a couple of minutes to cool down and stretch. This will help keep your muscles from being sore.
As always, be sure to consult your physician before beginning any new fitness routine.
