Step up ... for a good cause and a chance to show those couch potatoes in law enforcement who’s really in shape!

Battle of the Badges is an exhilarating stair-climbing and fundraising competition that raises money and awareness for the work of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Join hundreds of Ohio firefighters, EMS technicians and law enforcement officers at the Rhodes Tower on March 5, 2011 to race up 40 flights of stairs as part of a four-person relay team (ten flights per person) , two-person relay team (20 flights per person) or tackle the entire tower yourself.

You’ll be cheered on by Hooters girls, and the fastest individuals from the Fire and the Law Enforcement Climb will be awarded medals by Arnold Schwarzenegger during the Arnold Sports Festival.
