Get set for world鈥檚 highest tower run
Print Edition
The world鈥檚 highest vertical running race returns to Shanghai Tower next month.
The 2019 Shanghai Tower International Vertical Marathon will be this year鈥檚 final race of the Towerrunning World Association鈥檚 yearlong tour, and will be worth 240 points to the winners.
The November 24 race is expected to attract around 2,000 runners, both professionals and amateurs. They will climb 3,398 steps to the 119th floor, a height of 552 meters.
The 632-meter, 127-story Shanghai Tower is the world鈥檚 second tallest building. But its vertical competition is No. 1 in the world, as verified by the Towerrunning World Association.
This year鈥檚 event will have a relay for groups of five people.
International Olympic Committee vice president Juan Antonio Samaranch has been appointed ambassador of the event. Last year, as one of the runners, he reached the top in about 45 minutes.
Entrants can register on the Shanghai Tower鈥檚 WeChat account and the competition鈥檚 website, www.shtowermarathon.com. Groups wanting to take part in the relay can dial 021-68826560 for details.
