The Event
Participants will run or walk the stadium's concourses and ramps, climb stairs between levels, and finish with a lap on the warning track circling the field, where they'll take in breathtaking views of the stadium from a player's perspective. The event, the first race of its kind in the Yankees' new home, is not just for seasoned athletes. It will also include a Kids Fun Run, where children ages 5-12 can follow in the footsteps of their heroes with a lap around the warning track.

Participants can register as individuals or get friends, family members and colleagues together to form a team. The registration fee is $35 for students and children, and $50 for adults. A portion of the registration fee is a tax-deductible contribution to cancer research.
