Over The Edge is a special events company that provides signature urban rappelling events for non-profit organizations anywhere in North America. Business leaders, individuals, and community members are invited to raise donations in exchange for the experience of going Over The Edge of a local building and rappelling down the side of the building. Over The Edge has raised over $70 million for non-profits around the world.

Rappellers must weigh between 100 and 300 pounds to ensure their safety while rappelling.

People in their 80s and 90s rappel! The only restriction is that anyone under the age of 18 requires a parent or guardian’s signature on the legal waiver.

Rappellers will go Over The Edge on Saturday, October 12. Once you get close to your fundraising goal, we’ll reach out to you to schedule what time you’ll be rappelling.

We cannot guarantee you'll rappel at the exact time you're hoping for, however, if you have a preference of morning or afternoon, please send us an email and let us know! We will do our absolute best to accommodate!

We encourage everyone to spend as much of the day as they can at the event! We would love to have support for everyone rappelling, and it should make for a fun day! However, you only need to arrive with enough time for registration, staging, and your actual rappel.

Anywhere from 20-30 minutes

The rappel is 400 feet high.

The OTE team is VERY strict about windspeed & monitors the weather days leading up to the event. We would rappel in the rain but NOT in thunder/lightning or high winds.

Yes! The on-site technical team will do their best to make your costume work for your rappel though they have the final say in whether your costume is safe. Safety First!

AVOID:
• Stringy, loose, or excessive costumes
• Capes
• Headpieces that will not fit under the required helmet, obscure your vision or are notably large or heavy

Unfortunately, No. This is for safety reasons. A photographer will be on site.

Participants have until XXX to raise their funds! If the minimum $1,000 is not met by XXX, the credit card on file will be charged the difference.

Not at all! Our technicians will provide all of the training and support you need to get Over The Edge!

Event Day is the official fundraising deadline. If you haven't quite met your target by Event Day, you can contact your event manager to hold your rappel spot with a credit card.
