Rondo 1 Run Up for the 12th time! Registration has just opened!

Anyone who has ever heard about stair running, aka “towerrunning,” has probably also heard of the Rondo 1 Run Up. Since its debut edition in 2011, the event has gained cult status, and the start list has always been full.

It is not only the unique format of the run that is crucial to the popularity of the event, but also its sporting level. The Warsaw office building Rondo 1 has already hosted the Towerrunning European Championships twice, under the auspices of the Towerrunning World Association. Every year, the top competitors in the world in this discipline run up to the 37th floor of Rondo 1, often accompanied by famous people from the world of sport, media and culture.

The charitable dimension of the event is as important as ever. From the very beginning, the Rondo 1 Run Up has supported the Polish SOS Children’s Villages Association by donating the revenue from entry fees to the SOS Children’s Village in Kraśnik. The total amount collected in this way has already exceeded PLN 300,000.

Registration opens today

Registration for the 12th edition of the Rondo 1 Run Up opens on Monday, 18 December 2023, at 2 pm on SlotMarket.pl.

There will be a limit of 600 participants, and the price of the participation package will range from PLN 59 to 79. Due to the limited number of participants, as well as the history of previous registrations, the organizers recommend that runners not delay in signing up for the Rondo 1 Run Up, as there will not be enough packages for all those wishing to participate.

Official T-shirts for the event are also on sale.

More information about the event is available on the official website www.biegnaszczyt.pl
