Runners prepare to race up Sydney Tower
Sydney Tower has opened registrations for its annual Run-Up, giving 250 people the chance to race up the 1,504 steps of Sydney’s tallest building on 24 August.
The 2007 Run-Up will take place on the same day as the Cancer Council New South Wales’ annual Daffodil Day fundraiser, with funds from each Tower Run-Up entry fee of AUS$29 going to support the charity. The race will start in Pitt Street Mall in front of a crowd of lunchtime shoppers and volunteers fundraising for Daffodil Day.
“Interest ran so high following last year’s fantastic event that we’ve had to cap numbers at 250 this year, so runners need to get in early or they may miss out,” Sydney Tower marketing manager Thomas Davey said.
“The Run-Up is a key event for the tower and we’re very pleased that this year’s event will support the Cancer Council NSW on one of their most important days,” he added.
The first male and female to cross the 2007 Sydney Tower Run-Up finish line will each receive a return flight worth AUS$2500 to New York to take part in the annual Empire State Building Run Up in February 2008.
Age group category winners and corporate winners will receive double Skywalk passes, combining unbeatable 360-degree views of Sydney with the thrill of stepping out onto glass-floored viewing platforms extending over the edge of the tower’s golden turret. Details: www.sydneytoweroztrek.com.au
