RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — The 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb took place in Richmond on Saturday, giving hundreds of participants the chance to honor the firefights that responded to the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.
The event, held at City Stadium, began to 9 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 10 and drew a crowd of around 350 participants of all ages, including Richmond Fire and EMS.
Participants got to pay tribute to members of the New York City Fire Department who died on September 11, 2001, by climbing seven rounds through the stadium’s bleachers, the equivalent of the 110 stories in the World Trade Center.
