5th Run Up Varso Tower. Registration is now open!
On 19 September, Varso Tower, the tallest building in the European Union and one of the symbols of modern Warsaw, will once again become the stage for sporting excitement. One thousand participants will climb nearly 1,400 stairs on their way to the finish line located on the Highline Warsaw observation terrace. The fifth edition of the event will combine an exceptional sporting challenge with tangible support for young people's mental health.
Run Up Varso Tower is one of the events that showcases the open and multifunctional character of Varso Place. The complex combines workspaces with a hotel, restaurants, cafes, services and attractions available to residents and tourists alike. It is a place that is alive throughout the day, serving as a venue for meetings, activities and urban events.
All previous editions of the race attracted enormous interest from runners and enthusiasts of unconventional sporting challenges, with all available places taken shortly after registration opened. The Varso Tower stair race offers participants a completely different way to experience one of Warsaw's most recognisable buildings. On that day, a space associated with architecture, business and urban lifestyle becomes an arena of sporting excitement open to runners from across Poland.
Registration for this year's race opens on Tuesday, 14 July at 2:00 p.m. Participants can register via SlotMarket.pl, with entry packages starting at PLN 109.
The participant limit is 1,000, with only 900 entry packages available for general sale. The remaining 100 places have been reserved for the Varso Place community.
Every step counts!
Run Up Varso Tower demonstrates that sport can make a real difference. Each step climbed represents not only a personal challenge and a sense of achievement for participants, but also tangible support for young people. This is possible thanks to the HB Reavis Foundation, which for the second consecutive year is joining forces with Martyna Wojciechowska's UNAWEZA Foundation to support the Młode Głowy. Otwarcie o zdrowiu psychicznym (Young Heads. Speaking openly about mental health) project.
Varso TowerBuilding healthy and responsible communities is one of the values closest to us.
Run Up Varso Tower demonstrates how sport can bring people together and unite them around Varso Place. Together with the race participants, we are once again combining sporting energy with an important social purpose, providing tangible support for an initiative that gives young people access to knowledge, help and open conversations about mental health. Last year, we donated PLN 30,000 to support young people in this area. We believe that this year's edition will once again prove that a single race and a single start can become part of something much bigger.
Katarzyna Najdzik, President of the HB Reavis Foundation
Every participant in Run Up Varso Tower can make their own contribution. For every person who reaches the finish line, the HB Reavis Foundation will donate PLN 30 to support young people and their mental health.
