Fourteen flights of grueling straight-up steps, then fourteen flights back down, throw an obstacle course in the mix, and then twenty-two more flights straight up…if you’re tough enough to handle the total fifty floors and 1,089 steps running, try it with 70lb. turnouts and safety gear (turnouts and gear not included).
The Fifth Annual Tower 2 Tower Stair Climb Run will be held at 500 Esplanade Drive in Oxnard. The climb is designed for all ages. Check in starts at 9:00 am; the run starts at 10:00 am. This fundraising event is one of the most important events of the year for the Oxnard Youth Fire Explorers.
The climb starts at the City National Bank tower and finishes at the Morgan Stanley Financial Tower rooftop where participants can enjoy the magnificent city view. Attendees are asked to wear running gear. Bring friends and family members to cheer you on! (Only participants are allowed on the rooftop.)
Enjoy the fun after-race activities in the parking lot including on-site fire trucks, police, K9's, Search & Rescue and Hazmat teams. Military and sports equipment vendors will also be showing their wares. Live Music and food are available for the entire family!

ABOUT OXNARD YOUTH FIRE EXPLORERS
The Oxnard Fire Explorer Post 9244 was founded in October of 1994 and is currently the only Fire Explorer Post within Ventura County. Its first class graduated in July 1995, advancing 17 fire explorers to ride-a-long status and assigned engine companies. The Program has a solid reputation of serving as a quality youth group within its community, while training potential firefighters for future employment.
Fire explorers perform a number of tasks to assist Oxnard Firefighters in their daily operations. Under direct supervision, fire explorers participate in basic fire training, assist responding fire companies on scenes of emergencies with various support activities and provide direct assistance in fire prevention and public education activities.
Successful completion of the Oxnard Fire Explorer Basic Academy will enable the explorer to respond to alarms, load and roll hose, replace spent air bottles, assist with non-hazardous fire ground duties, assist firefighters with medical aid and rescues, perform station and facilities maintenance, attend monthly meetings and drills and have access to fire related technical manuals for independent study.
