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
