Bisbee 1000 The Great Stair Climb

The most unique physical fitness challenge (or friendly fitness walk) in the USA! Bisbee 1000 The Great Stair Climb is arguably one of the most unusual and challenging events in the world. The 4.5-mile course features nine staircases (over 1000 total steps) connected by winding roads. While enjoying the challenge, runners and walkers alike see some of the most scenic parts of Old Bisbee. Take a delightful journey up the stairs and down the roadways in Europeanesque Bisbee!
Drilling & Mucking Competition
July
The Drilling & Mucking Competition begins at noon on the 4th of July on Brewery Ave. in The Gulch.
Some Bisbee trivia: “Iron Man” represents Bisbee’s hand-drilling past. A statue of a miner holding a single jack and steel mounted atop the block of Gunnison granite where the contest drilling was done.
