Committee in Imperial County to hold 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb event

IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA, KECY) - A special group in Imperial County is preparing an event to remember the victims and the heroes who lost their lives on 9/11.

The Imperial Valley 9/11 Stair Climb Committee is hosting their annual Memorial Stair Climb event this Saturday.

He says locals will be paying tribute by climbing stairs which will be the equivalent of 110 stories.

"The stair climb actually takes place at the grandstands at the racetrack, and we have a plotted out course that takes you around the track then up through the stairs and then actually comes out here and around the memorial because we wanna highlight this and then take you back through," said Mathew Zinn, Vice President of the Imperial Valley 9/11 Stair Climb Committee.

The event is set to start around 6 p.m. For more information about the event, click here.
