Climb to the Top MS will give you a one-of-a-kind experience to take on the stairs and climb to the top of Oracle Park.>
 
Your climb will start from an exclusive spot in the Oracle Park, where you will then climb up and down the stairs, serpentine-style, with rest stops along the way to refuel. You’ll also have time to take in the view as you reflect on how your efforts are changing the world for the nearly 1 million people living with MS in the United States.
 
At the finish line, you will be greeted by an incredible view, a cheer section, uplifting music, a finish line medal and a place to gather to enjoy concession-style food and drinks!
 
Completing Climb to the Top MS requires about the same effort as running a 5K (3.1 miles). Those who’ve completed a 5K should be able to complete the stair climb without extensive stair climbing practice.
 
We can't wait to see you on the stairs!

Climb Course Challenge
Get your competitive juices flowing and join our Climb Course Challenge! Climbers who want to get extra sweaty will receive a star each time they cross the finish line and have their name added to our leaderboard. The person with the most stars at the end of the event will win a special prize (and bragging rights!).
