Canarias Vertical Run in Las Palmas

The first Canarias Vertical Run will take place on 10 Feb 2012 in the Woermann Plaza building in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.

A sporting event of this kind is to be held for the first time in Gran Canaria. The Las Palmas Vertical Run is a race against the clock. The challenge is to climb the 415 steps (or 22 floors including the underground garage) up to the top of the 18-storey Woermann building in the shortest possible time. Runners will compete in two disciplines - sportsmen and firemen (with full fireman gear).
