SkyTower Bucharest announces a new SKYRUN competition for 9 November 2024; the popular tower running competition on the stairs of the tallest building in Romania is part of the annual competition programme called „SKY’S THE LIMIT” and one of the novelties of this edition is the inclusion of two age categories dedicated to children: 7-13 years and 14-17 years.
The category for children aged 7 to 13 is called FunSkyRun. In this non-competitive race, children will be accompanied by a parent, grandparent, or tutor. Meanwhile, participants aged 14 and older will compete in an individual, competitive race, which is divided into two sub-categories: male and female.
The SkyRun 2024 edition is special for several reasons, including the fact that it will be open to a larger number of participants. While 600 runners from four countries—Romania, Austria, Hungary, and Bulgaria—took part in SkyRun 2023, this year, 700 competitors will be able to register for the edition on November 9, 2024.
The SkyRun 2024 challenges participants to conquer 31 floors, 620 steps, and an ascent of 108 meters. All funds raised from entry fees will be donated to four deserving charities: Climb Again, Mia’s Children, SOS Children’s Villages, and Autism Voice. Upon registration, participants can select which charity will receive the equivalent of their entry fee.
