Community members gathered at Crunch Fitness in Santa Maria to participate in a 110-flight stair climb as a tribute to 9/11.
Organizers say the climb symbolized the 110 stories of the World Trade Center, honoring the first responders and victims who bravely ventured through the towers.
The event was held at over 100 locations across the country, connecting the local community to a nationwide moment of remembrance. According to Crunch Fitness, participation more than doubled this year, with more than 5,000 people participating nationwide.
