The Town of Surfside Beach and the Surfside Beach Fire Department would like to invite everyone to pay tribute to the public safety members who lost their lives on 9/11/2001.
We will host our inaugural “9/11 Memorial Stair Climb” on September 11th, 2025, at 8:00 a.m.
We invite participants to climb the monumental stairs of The Surfside Beach Fishing Pier 26 times (up & down), representing the 2,200 stairs climbed by many first responders on September 11th at the World Trade Center. This event is free to participate in.
If you are a firefighter or police officer, we encourage you to wear protective gear while climbing the stairs. Those who wish to simulate the weight of the protective gear can use a weighted vest. The typical additional weight of the protective gear and equipment carried by the firefighters is 90 pounds.
We will have air packs available for firefighters to wear, not to breathe from, on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you are interested and plan to attend, please click the link below to sign up. Be sure to complete a waiver and indicate if you will need an air pack.
