Evening Magazine visited Shoreline’s Saltwater Park Wednesday morning to do a story on the Million Stair Challenge. Last year there were 1.2 million stairs climbed in the month of June. This year we are only halfway through the month and we are already above 1.2 million. We might have to change the name next year to the 2 Million Stair Challenge. 

The Evening Magazine segment will air this this Thursday evening at 7pm on King 5.

Bill Clements leads the charge with over 100,000 steps so far this month and he was adding to that total during the interview. Kinin Taylor is now well over 70,000 for the month.

Appropriately enough, Bill was the co-chair of the successful 2006 Park bond levy which among other projects, rebuilt the hillside at Saltwater Park and put in the stairway.

The rules of the Million Stair Challenge are simple; climb as many stairs as you can on as many days as you like during the month of June. Log the number of full or half flights you have climbed on either the online or paper tracking form and the Parks and Recreation Staff will keep track of all the numbers and post weekly updates on the Million Stair Challenge website. 

As a special addition for 2013, anyone who uses the online tracking form and provides their email address will be eligible to win Million Stair Challenge prizes!
