The 10th edition of the Rondo 1 Tower Run at the European Championship rank!

On May 21st, the best tower runners from Poland and Europe will once again visit the Rondo 1 complex in Warsaw. Rondo 1 Tower Run returns after a two-year break caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the competition will have the status of the European Championship. The jubilee- 10th edition of the event will traditionally support SOS Children's Villages in Poland.

Thirty-eight floors and 142 meters vertically - such a task awaits everyone who will decide to face the route leading down the staircase of the Rondo 1 office building. In the last nine editions of the event, there were always more people willing than places available.

- We can safely say that the Rondo 1 Tower Run has gained the status of a cult event, to which many competitors return every year - says Piotr Jakóbik, the press spokesman for the competition. - We are all the more pleased that after the pandemic turbulence, runners will again appear on the hospitable thresholds of the Rondo 1 office building - he adds.

The image of the most prestigious Tower Run in Poland has been built for many years, by hosting the best tower running specialists in the world every year. The event is run by Piotr Łobodziński - world champion and multiple-time winner of the Towerrunning World Cup, who started his career in tower running with the first edition of the Tower Run Rondo 1.

Competition at the highest level can also be anticipated this year. Rondo 1 will - for the second time in its history - host the Towerrunning European Championships, i.e. the championship of the Old Continent. The last competition of that level was hosted by Rondo 1 in 2016.

The Rondo 1 Tower Run is something more than just a sports competition. Since the first edition of the event in 2011, it has supported the SOS Children's Villages Association in Poland by donating all income from the starting fees to SOS Children's Village in Kraśnik. This year, the collected funds are more critical than ever before. In recent weeks, the Kraśnik SOS Children's Village has welcomed a large group of children and their guardians from Ukraine. The Rondo 1 complex is involved in many activities supporting foundations and associations. This year's edition is also a time of close cooperation with its tenants, with whom it is possible to provide the most crucial products to Ukrainians both in Poland and back at home. To actively support SOS Children's Villages, Rondo 1 will provide additional funds for the youngest members of the association.

- The run to the top in Rondo 1 is an event whose power lies not only in the physical effort of all participants but also in the involvement of broadly understood business. For years, it has supported institutions that take care of children and their guardians. We are glad that by organising this jubilee event, we can stand together again - comments Sylwia Wiszowata-Łazarz, Associate Director in the marketing department of the international real estate management company Cushman & Wakefield.

Registration for the Rondo 1 Tower Run will launch on March 28th via SlotMarket.pl. More information will soon be available on the website www.biegnaszczyt.pl.
