Transparent Adjudicator's Statement
Summary of Claim
Troy Alston submitted a claim for the most documented stair-climbing race victories achieved within a single state or province. The submitted claim identified 70 unique overall victories in Florida, including victories connected to American Lung Association / Fight For Air Climb events, Cystic Fibrosis climbs, Tunnel to Towers climbs, the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation Stair Climb, and the Donna Stick and Puck Stadium Stair Challenge.
The claimant confirmed in writing that each of the 70 counted results represented an overall race victory and not an age-group, team, division, gender/category, firefighter/weighted, or other subcategory placement. The claimant also confirmed that the submitted list had been reviewed for duplication and that each entry represented a unique race result.
Evidence Submitted
The evidence submitted included an updated results spreadsheet identifying the 70 claimed victories, event names, years, placements, locations, and evidence types. Supporting evidence included official timing results, timing-company confirmation, official-results screenshots, awards, trophies, medals, certificates, event photographs, organization and social-media posts, publication references, website references, and claimant attestation.
Additional photographs of the claimant at events were submitted as supporting visual documentation. These materials were used to corroborate the claimant’s participation, event history, and first-place finishes where official timing records were unavailable or incomplete.
Comparative and Cross-Archive Benchmark Review
Atlas World Records reviewed the claim as a cumulative, documentation-based record category focused on overall stair-climbing race victories within a single state, province, or comparable first-level regional jurisdiction. The category was structured to be internationally scalable while preserving the specific geographic instance of Troy Alston’s Florida achievement.
As part of the adjudication process, Atlas World Records cross-referenced the publicly available records at all major world record organizations. No publicly available benchmark was identified that exceeded or directly displaced the submitted claim of 70 documented overall stair-climbing race victories within a single state or province.
Verification Methodology
Atlas World Records reviewed the claimant’s submitted results spreadsheet and supporting evidence files to determine whether the claimed victories were sufficiently documented, unique, and consistent with the record title. The review focused on three central requirements: that the events were stair-climbing races, that the counted results occurred within Florida, and that each counted result represented an overall race victory.
Official results and timing-company confirmations were treated as the strongest form of evidence. Where official timing results were unavailable, Atlas World Records considered corroborating documentation such as awards, certificates, trophies, medals, organizer references, event/social-media posts, photographs, publication references, and the claimant’s written attestation.
Because this record title uses the term “documented,” the adjudication allowed for a blended evidence standard appropriate to a long-running historical athletic record spanning 2010–2026. Atlas World Records did not require every historical result to be supported by the same type of evidence, but did require that the submitted materials collectively support the existence, uniqueness, and overall-win status of the 70 counted victories.
Adjudication Findings
Atlas World Records found that the submitted evidence supported the certification of 70 documented overall stair-climbing race victories achieved by Troy Alston in Florida between 2010 and 2026.
The submitted record file contained no apparent duplicate results among the 70 counted victories. The claimant’s written confirmation further established that the counted victories were overall wins and not subcategory placements. The evidence record included a combination of official results, timing confirmations, awards, visual documentation, public references, and written attestation sufficient for certification under the record title “Most Documented Stair-Climbing Race Victories Within a Single State or Province.”
Conclusion
Atlas World Records certifies Troy Alston as the holder of the record for the Most Documented Stair-Climbing Race Victories Within a Single State or Province.
The certified metric is 70 documented overall stair-climbing race victories achieved in the State of Florida between 2010 and 2026. This certification recognizes Troy Alston’s long-term competitive consistency, documented statewide dominance, and sustained contribution to charity-based stair-climbing events across Florida.
