The following rules attempt to make registration as fair and equitable as possible to all who wish to participate. Any situation not covered in these rules should be directed to the Director of Participants (participantsdirector@dallasstairclimb.com). The Director of Participants along with the Steering Committee will make any decisions regarding interpretations of these rules.
 

There will be no exceptions to the rules below.

 

• Marketing for this year’s event will begin in mid-May.

​

• Only active duty paid or volunteer firefighters, active duty paid or reserve police officers, and active duty paid or volunteer EMS-only personnel are eligible to register and climb in the event. EMS-only personnel may be affiliated with a fire department; however, they must serve strictly in an EMS capacity and may no be firefighters or cross-trained/assigned as firefighters. Nurses, dispatchers, and other non-eligible emergency support roles are not permitted to climb at this time.

​

• Only individual registrations will be accepted. Team registrations are not available. It is acceptable to have someone other than the climber complete registration if the climber is unable to do so upon registration opening.

​

• Registration for the climb will open on June 1st at 8:00am Central and close once all 343 firefighter, 70 law enforcement, and 9 EMS spots are filled.  

​

• The Alternates Climber list will open June 1st at 9:00 am Central and will close once all the spots are full.  Alternate climbers WILL participate in the event even if they are not moved into an “In Honor Of Spot”. Please direct questions to your participant coordinator.

​

• The registration homepage is accessed via “Register to Climb!” directly on the homepage or under the “Get Involved” tab in the navigation bar located on www.dallasstairclimb.com.

​

• The registration cost is $70.00, plus transaction fees. This cost covers required event expenses such as event insurance and administration costs as well as the participant t-shirt, Challenge Coin and trinket. All sales are final and registration fees will not be refunded if you are unable to participate.

​

• Climbers wishing to represent a particular public safety officer or company must indicate this during the registration process and should follow up with their Participant Coordinator. The guidelines used to grant these requests are prioritized based on the type of connection and on a case-by-case basis.​Requests with the closest connections (such as a family member, close friend, or station connection) have higher priority.

​

• Due to high participation demand, registration may fill up in minutes.

​

• All climbers should consult their physician and be engaged in an adequate physical conditioning program prior to the event.

​

• Participants must agree to the event rules and sign a liability waiver and photo release.

​

• Registrants should receive, print, and completely read the confirmation email(s) AND any links and attachments as they contain important information, including what to expect next in the process.

​

• No substitutions or transfers will be allowed.

​

• In the instance a registered climber can no longer participate, his/her vacancy will be filled by a climber from our Alternates list. Please notify your assigned Participant Coordinator immediately if you are unable to climb.

​

• Alternate Climber list moves are placed in order that their information is received.
