Every Step Counts
Outdoors, onward, upward and around the world.
Healthy lungs and clean air. That’s why we Climb.
We're taking the Climb outside and around the world in 2021. We're moving onward and upward, safely and responsibly, so that we can make an impact now to ensure a healthier future for all. Join us outside for a reimagined Climb in 2021. All are welcome to share in this adventure, whether you're new to the event or a veteran Climber.
Join us outside and travel the world for a reimagined Climb in the spring. All are welcome to share in this adventure, whether you’re new to the event or a veteran Climber.
Just like our indoor event, how you climb outdoors is up to you. You can race to the end or take it at your own pace. There's even a Climb Your Way option for those who can't make it to the event, and those participating in our in-person Climb can use Climb21 as a great training opportunity.

Introducing Climb21
21 Days. 21 Climbs.
New this year! – Climb21 is a chance to Climb Your Way and "travel" the world on your terms with the American Lung Association. For the 21 days leading up to our outdoor Climb (Date TBD), join us as we virtually “climb” the steps of famous landmarks across the globe, nation and in your own backyard.
Using our updated Fight For Air Climb app’s Activity Tracker* (available for Apple and Android devices), you can track your steps and raise money to earn great prizes while participating in Climb21, our new and exciting way to “travel” and train around the world. Complete local landmarks, take a road trip across the country or explore the world with beautiful and historic locations. The more funds you raise and steps you take for our mission, the more well-travelled you’ll be. From a Localista to a high-skies Jet-Setter to a worldly Globetrotter, you can virtually climb the same number of steps as iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Grand Canyon and Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world (a towering 2,909 steps).
We need you in the fight now more than ever. Come outside for our in-person event, Climb Your Way with Climb21 or participate in both! Join us for the shared challenge, for the camaraderie, and for a world free of all lung disease, including COVID-19.
*You must be a registered climber to use the Climb mobile app.
