The 8th edition of the Torch Staircase Run

The 8th edition of the ‘Aspire Torch Staircase Run’ 2019 will be held in the Qatar’s tallest building with 1,304 steps staircase and 51 floors.

Are you ready to take the stairs all the way up? How long it will take you to do it?

Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) has announced opening registration for the 8th annual Aspire Torch Staircase Run scheduled to take place on 25th October at the Torch hotel in Aspire Zone.

Previous editions of the run generated unprecedented success on par with international tower-running competitions, including Empire State Building Run-Up in New York, USA, and Berlin Sky Tower in Germany. Over the past editions, ATSR attracted more than 600 participants from both local and expat communities alongside other tower runners from all over the world. In 2015, ATSR was awarded an official Grand Prix status as one of the top international tower running competitions.

The race this year will be held on the Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The public can get a free check-up through a van placed especially for this purpose near The Torch as well as an awareness booth to answer any question and provide more information to the public. Those who finish the race in the shortest time will receive valuable prizes. There will be a fan zone with games, and activities for adults and children, as well as food and beverages varieties.
