To create a world without blood cancers, every step counts.
Hey Minneapolis! It's time to join The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) in the fight to cure blood cancers while also getting the chance to climb up and down the iconic steps of U.S. Bank Stadium. At Big Climb Minneapolis, you'll experience a high energy behind-the-scenes journey through the massive beauty of U.S. Bank Stadium, home of the Minnesota Vikings. You'll climb up steps, down ramps, run the concourses and finish strong crossing the 50 yard line! There's no better way to show your Minnesota pride AND help LLS save lives while taking on the challenge of a lifetime! Join us at U.S. Bank Stadium as we CLIMB. CONQUER. And CURE.
Register today!
You can also join our nationwide virtual climb from anywhere and show up for blood cancer patients right in your neighborhood!
Registration is FREE for all participants up to 30 days before your event. After the 30-day mark, a $50 contribution will apply to go toward the costs of putting on Big Climb events. This contribution is separate from your fundraising total for event participation and incentives.
Once you're checked in on Climb Day you'll get to explore Base Camp, with fun activities for climbers of all ages. Your assigned Climb Time wave will then be led down into the lower levels of the stadium for a behind-the-scenes look. After a brief but powerful Opening Ceremony where you'll hear the stories of why we climb, your wave will head out (and up) into the stadium, where route arrows and cheering volunteers will make sure you know your way.
Pause in the 119th section to honor & remember those lost to blood cancers. As you continue your climb, you are climbing towards a future where patients not only survive, but thrive. As you cross the 50-yard line, completing your climb, you will be celebrated by fellow climbers as you receive your finisher medal. All along, a custom high-powered music soundtrack complete with motivational messages plays through the stadium's massive PA system. It's an experience like no other, football fan or not, and you don't want to miss it!
As a Climber, we challenge you to fundraise for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's mission. Every step you take helps support blood cancer patients through their diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. Eager to race past your $150 fundraising minimum? We're here to support and reward you every step of the way.
Note: Children ages 8-17 who choose to participate in our main climb have a reduced fundraising commitment of $50. Be sure to select this option during registration.
Excitement is high as we return Big Climb Minneapolis to the home of the Vikings for the 3rd year. We hope you'll join our big, powerful Big Climb family filled with returning climbers and first-timers, too! Join our Big Climb Facebook group to connect with your fellow Climbers here in Minnesota and across the nation. It's the best way to get insider training tips, fundraising ideas and be ready for Climb Day at U.S. Bank Stadium!
