  • Sunday 20th October 9:00am until 3:00pm
46 floors, 1 amazing cause! Sprint, jog or walk up one of Manchester’s most iconic buildings, the Beetham Tower and help The Christie Charity get a step ahead of cancer.

This challenge is Manchester’s ONLY tower run event, and is open to all abilities, making it an incredibly unique, perfect event for everyone from seasoned athletes to casual walkers.

After a thigh-burning dash or stroll to the top, you’ll have exclusive access to Cloud 23 bar where you will be met with a hero’s welcome, a choice of refreshments and a much-needed massage to soothe all your aches and pains!

Your registration fee includes a technical t-shirt or vest, timing chip and finisher’s medal. The Christie Charity's technical t-shirts and vests are made from a pro-wicking material, helping you stay dry during your Tower Run challenge.

By joining Team Christie, you will help us stay at the forefront of cancer research and allow us to continue to provide world class care and treatment to our patients and their families.
