Event Overview
The Step Up and Step Out event is an annual fundraising initiative supporting The Up Center's community services. It features two distinct participant options. Participants can choose between a stair climb challenge inside Harbor Park stadium and a 2-mile run/walk along the Elizabeth River Trail.
Event Details
The event takes place on May 2, 2026, at 150 Park Ave in Norfolk, Virginia, at Harbor Park. Parking is available at the venue. Registration for each option is priced at $40, with discounted rates for youth participants ($20). Registration closes on the event day at 8:30 AM EDT. The stair climb event is open to ages 5 and above, while the walk/run has no age limit. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
Participants must choose one event to be officially timed for, but after finishing, they can informally try the other activity if time permits.
Additional Information
The event includes a post-race celebration with music and refreshments. An award ceremony is scheduled for noon in the courtyard. Medical support will be present, with EMTs stationed at Harbor Park for the climb and along the trail for the run/walk. Strollers are permitted on the run/walk course, and team registration is available. Results will be posted online. Packet pickup details will be confirmed closer to the event date, with race-day pickup available. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
