Running on the tallest building in the Czech Republic.
September 22, 2024!
The race is also listed as the Czech Championship in running up the stairs for 2024
Track description and proposition:
Staircase in AZ Tower (Pražákova 1008/69 Brno) Competitors must run only using their own power. Use of the lift is prohibited. The time is evaluated using electronic chip timekeeping. The competitor must have a correctly placed chip, otherwise the time will not be measured. The timer is started by running out of the start and stops when the finish is reached. Start is made individually at intervals. Competitors will be taken down by elevator.
Run up the stairs from the 1st floor to the 30th floor. The interval start is at the main entrance to the building, then the competitor passes about 25 m around the elevators to the beginning of the concrete staircase.
The ascent to each floor includes stairs with a mezzanine, the stairs are 15 cm high, their step is 30 cm, the slope of the staircase is 27.60 ° (1.NP – 3.NP) and then 26.57 ° (3.NP – 30.NP). In total, competitors will climb 631 steps to the finish of the race. After that, they can climb 64 more metal steps to the very top of the AZ Tower outside the competition. Competitors can use railings as support while running.
Start intervals. In the first wave, elite runners start, then groups by starting numbers (1-50, 51-100, 101-150, etc.) The preliminary schedule of the start of the first competitor of the group will be published in advance and announced on the spot by the moderator. Within the groups, we recommend sorting by starting numbers, but it will not be strictly required or sanctioned. At the same time, the organizer reserves the right to decide on the order of competitors and determine the starting interval even during the race.
Attach the starting number to your chest.
You will receive the chip in the starting corridor. Attach it to the right or left leg – the strap is part of the chip. Check the chip fastening before starting. Without the chip, you will not be measured time. Hand over the chip immediately after finishing at the finish.

Refreshments: After the race, you will get a drink right after the finish on the 30th floor.
Medical service: Emergency medical services will be available. After running to the 30th floor, please hand over the chip and try not to block the finish of the other competitors. Move to the area designated for refreshment and relaxation and take advantage of the opportunity to climb to the very top of the AZ Tower.
On the observation deck you can take a memorial photo. It will be available on the website for free download.
Back down, take the lifts that are in 28.NP. Reach them by stairs from the 30th floor to the 28th floor along the outer edge of the staircase. Please be considerate and always make room for still competing runners. The race system is one-round. All registered competitors complete one run.
