Trek Up the Tower is the region’s leading vertical stair climb. A community event presented by The Wellbeing Partners, Trek Up the Tower supports The Wellbeing Partners' mission to build wellbeing into the way communities grow and do business.

In-person years feature participants racing to the top of First National Tower in downtown Omaha on a single day in this competitive, yet fun event. In the 2021 virtual event, participants can log any number of wellbeing activities over the course of three weeks to make virtual progress up the 40 floors of the Tower. Trek is ideal for all fitness levels and attracts everyone from elite athletes who race to the top, to participants who are looking to accomplish a personal goal as they climb the stairs slow and steady.

Grab your coworkers and friends and build a Corporate or Community Trek Up the Tower team. Participating in fitness events like Trek Up the Tower is a great way to build camaraderie, elevate a corporate wellness program, and have fun!

Trek Up the Tower is perfect for all fitness levels, so whether you are an avid exercise enthusiast or just getting started, Trek is the perfect team-building activity.
