The Christie Tower Run

On the day

• The first wave time is 9:30am, with the warmup starting 10 minutes before this. There are slots every 45 minutes to choose from.
• Participants will be released in intervals within their waves to reduce overtaking and prevent bottlenecks in the stairwell.
• There are 46 floors to take you up to the top of Beetham, which adds up to an impressive 798 steps!
• You can run, jog or walk your way to the top – whatever you feel most comfortable doing.

• Everyone is welcome to stay in the Cloud 23 bar after their Tower Run challenge to enjoy the stunning views of our wonderful city!
