Proceeds from the Stadium Stair Climb event will go to Homes for the Brave, an organization that finds housing for homeless people, mainly veterans. Registration costs $35 per person, but early bird registration is $25 through Sept. 1.
The stair climbing course in the stadium is 1,000 steps for one time through. Participants can set their own goals, or work as part of a team. The registration fee also includes a t-shirt and a light breakfast, officials said
In addition to the climb, there will be family activities and games on the ballfield from 9-11 a.m. on Sept. 24, followed by an awards ceremony. It all takes place at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard, 500 Main St., Bridgeport.
