Australian Stair Climbing Events

Stair climbing is running's vertical cousin - a flat-out race up the inside of a skyscraper, sports stadium or landmark tower, where the only direction is up. Australia's biggest climbs scale icons like Melbourne's Eureka Tower, Sydney Tower and the Gold Coast's Q1, while "stadium stomp" events take on the stands of grounds like the MCG. Short, brutal and strangely addictive, most double as charity fundraisers.

Stair climbs are a brilliant test for runners - punishing on the legs and lungs, but accessible to all levels and over in a fraction of the time of a road race.
