About Our CF Climb

CF Climb is a challenging and unique fitness event where participants climb the flights of stairs in a tall building or around stadiums in a test of endurance and time. Whether climbing to improve timing or to simply cross the finish line, this event is a great way to spend the day with co-workers, friends or family while “Adding Tomorrows” for people with cystic fibrosis. At the end of the climb, participants celebrate at the survival party with delicious food and great entertainment.

Join us the for the 36th Annual CF Climb in the tallest building in Albany, the Corning Tower! Climb 42 floors, or 809 steps as an individual, first responder, or as part of a four-person relay team. Due to popular demand we are again offering a Kid's Climb, where children ages 5-12 are welcome to participate in a quarter of the tower! Whether climbing to improve your time or to simply cross the finish line, this event is a great way to spend the morning with co-workers, friends, or family, while Adding Tomorrows for people with cystic fibrosis.

$10 flat registration fee for First Responder. Thank you for your service!
